Infrastructure Workday At Panther Creek Forest Farm

About this event

Panther Creek Forest Farm , in partnership with Keep Durham Beautiful and Leaf & Limb’s Project Pando , is a community-driven tree nursery that sustainably grows trees and gives them to the community for free through tree plantings, give away events, plant swaps and other community events. However, to grow these trees, we need your help!

We will work on rebuilding two shade structures. Hotter summers mean our seedlings need more shade to survive and thrive. We will be replacing one PVC hoophouse with metal and adding poles and hanging wire to the larger growing area. Work will involve setting two large metal poles, stringing wire, bending metal pipe, ladders and power tools.

We’ll provide: tools, snacks, water, gloves

Not invited: pets (we love them, but others may not)

Please wear closed-toed shoes or boots, and long pants. Bring a reusable water bottle, a hat, and something to tie up long hair if needed. You may also want to bring a small backpack for personal items.
