Future Forestry is proud to host The DaRin Butz Foundation and Arbor Day Foundation Tree Planting.

Join Future Forestry Saturday, October 18th to help plant 200 native shade trees along the sidewalks at Billy Bowlegs Park.
*Come a few minutes early and fuel up with free pancakes and sausage, orange juice and coffee

-The planting process will be made easier with holes pre-dug by an auger.
-Some of the native trees we’ll be planting include Bald Cypress, Red Maple, Red Ceder, Slash
 Pine, Dahoon Holly, and East Palatka Holly.
-In a few short years these trees will make enough shade to make the park more comfortable
 and usable during the hottest summer months!
