To combat invasive species like Honeysuckle, Autumn Olive and Callery Pear, among others, there will be a variety of volunteer roles available. Planters will be in a group of five people planting trees, Tree Captains will be leading groups of Planters, Cutters will be removing invasive species, and Couriers will be transporting the invasive species to a designated area.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers of all ages are critical to the success of the event and are encouraged to sign up and help restore the tree canopy. Trees will be planted in the following parks this year: McMillen Park, Werling Park and Beckett\u2019s Run Trail near Concordia Seminary. Invasive species will also be removed at Beckett\u2019s Run Trail as well as Vesey Park.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers are asked to register in advance by emailing FotPoAC@gmail.com, responding to the Facebook event, or downloading the signup form at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YeaParks\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/yeaparks<\/a> and mail it to P.O. Box 10152. Volunteers need to bring gloves, shovels, loppers, rakes and a wheelbarrow (if possible). Participants should also dress for the weather, as the work will be completed rain or shine.<\/p>\n<p>It is the mission of the Friends of the Parks to promote the stewardship and celebration of the scenic, historic, and recreational resources of the parks and public spaces in Fort Wayne and Allen County.
