Vine Lake Seeking Arbor Day Volunteers on Friday

According to the Vine Lake Preservation Trust's monthly newsletter, Quiet Voices, volunteers are being sought for work on Arbor Day, Friday, April 26 in two areas of the Vine Lake Cemetery. 

Volunteers will complement four tree companies who will volunteer labor and equipment to improve the cemetery's canopy. Volunteers are needed at:

• 8:30am to 10am to deliver coffee and donuts to the crews in the Old Section, and 
• 9am for an hour or two to work with the crews to drag brush to the chippers and to rake.  Note: all equipment will be operated only by the professional tree crews.  

The event lasts until approximately 2 p.m. 

People can volunteer for either task by sending an email to organizers. For more information, visit www.vinelakepreservationtrust.org
