Come on out and help The Rotary Club of Uxbridge prepare the King St Parkette for Pocket Forests!
Date:
 Saturday, June 21, 2025
Time:
 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location:
 233 King St W, Uxbridge, ON
Parking: 
Free parking available at Uxbridge Arena & Recreation Centre located at 291 Brock St W, Uxbridge, ON.
What we'll be doing:
 Site preparation for three pocket forests at the King St Parkette.
We'll be laying down cardboard, compost, and mulch to prepare the sites for the eventual planting of 600 trees and shrubs later in the fall. These materials will be left to settle over the next few months, creating a nutrient-rich site for the tree planting event in October/November.
What is a pocket forest?
A pocket forest is a densely planted community of native trees and plants in an area smaller than the size of a few parking spots. These pocket forests tend to grow faster, sequester more carbon, and promote more biodiversity than conventionally planted urban trees.
What will we be doing?
We'll be preparing the site by laying down cardboard, compost, and mulch. These materials will be left to settle over the next few months, creating a nutrient-rich site for the tree planting event in October/November.
No experience necessary and all ages are welcome!
Note: 
This is a physical activity that may require lifting materials up to 10kg - please be aware of your limitations.
What to wear and bring:
Protective work gloves
Closed-toe shoes or boots
Reusable water bottle
Clothes appropriate for the weather
Sunscreen and mosquito repellent (if necessary)
Shovels (if possible), but we will have some available as well
Epi-pen (for those with severe food, insect, or environmental allergies)
Shovels and light refreshments will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you'd like.
Let's work together to make our community greener and more beautiful. See you there!
