Turnbull seeks volunteers to help with tree potting

CHENEY — Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge is seeking volunteers to help with native tree potting during April.

Beginning April 9, refuge staff will host tree-potting sessions every Tuesday and Thursday.

Volunteers can spend a half-day or full-day potting trees such as aspen, hawthorn and cottonwood.

Once rooted, the trees will be planted on the refuge and in nearby areas. Potting sessions are open to all ages, and large groups can participate.

Participants should wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, officials said. They should also bring food and beverages. The refuge will provide potting supplies, including gloves.
