Missouri Master Naturalist Great Rivers Chapter

Do you have a project on non-profit or public land? Church, school, community garden? You can order free trees from Forest ReLeaf if you do. Pick up in St. Louis, although some areas will also have deliveries nearby (locales TBD).

CommuniTree applications open next week on July 1st!

Project CommuniTree subsidizes the cost of growing trees at our tree nursery and arboretum in St Louis County's Creve Coeur Park. The 3-Gallon saplings are offered free of charge to partners looking to plant and maintain trees on community, nonprofit, or public land. If there's a community space near you that could use a little more shade and beauty- submit an application!

The program distributes over 10,000 trees to more than 250 partners every year and mobilizes over 3,000 volunteers to participate in the tree-planting process. Visit moreleaf.org/project-communitree to take a look at our species inventory and review eligibility requirements!

We held a small ceremony at Riverlands for our two friends and Chapter Members, Larry Conant and Tom Fasl that passed away last year. Two redbud trees were planted last year and this week small plaques were place by them.
We all had fond memories to share.
