Trout Unlimited has received a grant to work with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Rensselaer Land Trust to plant 280 trees on RLT's Hoosic River Property. The Hoosic River Property is on the north side of NY Route 67, 0.3 mile west of the center of Eagle Bridge. Learn more about the Hoosic River Property HERE.

Join Trout Unlimited's Home Waters Chapter and Rensselaer Land Trust  for a collaborative tree planting event on the Hoosic River in Eagle Bridge, NY.  Tree planting events are a great way to engage the entire family - so bring out your kids and grandkids and help teach them the importance of working together as a community to care for and recover our rivers and streams.

We'll have some tools available, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves and shovels. Water and Snacks will be provided.

The trees will be in 1 gallon containers and need to be planted about 6 to 10 feet apart. Locations to be predetermined. We'll need volunteers for the following tasks include digging holes, planting the trees, placing the weed prevention mats, installing the treeprotectors, watering, and clean-up.
