Volunteers needed to plant trees

Volunteers are being sought by an agency that intends to plant 50 trees in Sturgis next month.

ReLeaf Michigan, a non-profit tree organization, is partnering with the city of Sturgis, the St. Joseph River Basin Commission and others for the task.

It will take place 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 16 at Sturgis Memorial Garden Cemetery.

Volunteers are asked to wear closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothing, and bring a shovel and work gloves. The group will meet at Sturgis Memorial Gardens, at the corner of Fawn River Road and South Nottawa Street for sign-in.

The event occurs, rain or shine. No planting experience is necessary and families are encouraged to participate.

RSVP is not necessary but appreciated: 659-7223.
