Tree Planting at Alcova Heights Park, Arlington
Tuesday, November 17 2026
Please come and help plant 17 small trees (generally 3-gallon-container-size) with County Parks & Rec staff. Work should be relatively easy, but need many hands to make light work so we can get all 17 into the ground! Duties will generally involve digging the holes, cutting off pot-bound roots, backfilling and mulching. No staking necessary. County staff will have a watering truck and hose. Wear sturdy clothes (suitable for the weather) and sturdy shoes. Also bring water for yourself. Wear your own gloves if you have them; otherwise we have gloves to lend. Tools and equipment will be provided. Alcova Heights Park is at 807 S. George Mason Dr. Meet by the restrooms. Street parking available on South Randolph for South 8th Street.
