Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Carter County residents are invited to join Keep Carter County Beautiful and Elizabethton Parks & Recreation in a community effort to plant trees and contribute to the beauty of local parks.

Scheduled for Saturday, April 13, at 10 a.m., the tree planting event seeks volunteers to assist in planting 7-8 trees each at Kiwanis Park and Riverside Park. Participants are encouraged to bring shovels, rakes, gloves, and water, though gloves and water will be provided for those in need. Volunteers are advised to dress appropriately for outdoor activities.

The holes for planting will already be dug, and the trees will be ready for their new homes, making it an accessible and rewarding experience for volunteers of all ages.

The meeting point for volunteers is Kiwanis Park on Hunter Avenue and West G Street at 10 a.m. Parking is available on Hunter Avenue. For further details and to access a map of the event location, visit www.kccbtn.org/events.

This event presents an opportunity for residents to leave a lasting impact on their community and contribute to the preservation and enhancement of natural spaces in Carter County.
