The Town of Whitestown has announced that in less than one month, on Earth Day, the community is invited to help enhance the beauty of Whitestown by helping to plant trees along the trail and at Gateway Park.
The event will be held on Tuesday, April 22 from 9 a.m. at Big 4 Trail and Gateway Park.
Volunteers are asked to meet at the Big 4 Trail off of 575 East behind the fire station 271, and parking will be available at the Penn Central Substation at 2714 S. 575 E. in Whitestown.
Volunteers are asked to bring any shovels, gloves and other supplies they may possess to assist the Whitestown Parks Maintenance team.
The “Planting for Tomorrow” event is a celebration of Earth Day, and community members are invited to aid the town in enhancing the beauty of the town by planting oak trees along the Big 4 Trail.
“Everyone is welcome to participate,” the town released. “You will be assisting the Whitestown Parks Maintenance Team to plant oak trees, which are non-invasive to the existing ecosystem.”
The town does ask that volunteers complete a volunteer form on their website and mention “Earth Day” in the comments.
