Description

Come to Oso Creek Trail on Saturday, May 1 from 9:30AM to 11:30AM to participate in the Mission Viejo Tree Planting! Trees are vital to life. Not only do they give us oxygen, they reduce the amount of storm water runoff and provide us with food as well. However, in recent decades, deforestation has become an issue that threatens all life as we know it. Contributing to problems like climate change, soil erosion, flooding, increased greenhouse gases, and less abundant crop yields, all life on earth has been impacted by deforestation. By signing up to volunteer at this tree planting, you will be directly impacting the environment in a positive way, working to undo the damage we have done to the environment. It starts with a community to make a global impact, and by participating in this tree planting, you will not only be adding to the beauty of Mission Viejo City, you will be laying the foundation for a brighter, more sustainable future! Take it upon yourself to be the change you want to see and help us help the environment that sustains us everyday! This event is run by MV_Eduenviro, a student led environmental action project that is dedicated to helping the environment by reaching out to the local communities here in Southern California. Also, this event has been organized in collaboration with the City of Mission Viejo. It is a great way to earn volunteer hours/points for any school club or organization (ie. CSF/NHS/Lion's Heart). Volunteers will gain upwards of 3 volunteer hours. Volunteers must be at least 12 to participate Volunteers will plant between 1 and 3 trees per group (groups created on the day of the event). Please be mindful of your physical condition/abilities when signing up to volunteer, as there are multiple forms of physical exertion involved with this event.
