5th Annual Sonoma County Laguna Re-Leaf Day

Sign up to help plant the future at Sonoma County’s 5th Annual Laguna Re-Leaf day April 5, 2014.

The Laguna Re-Leaf Day is like a walk-a-ton, except we plant trees instead of walk miles! Volunteers ask friends, family, and co-workers to support them by donating money to help the Foundation’s tree planting restoration project. Funds that are raised in the Laguna Re-Leaf Day support the Foundation’s mission and its Restoration, Conservation Science, and Education programs. This event will help create a healthier wildlife habitat, mitigate climate change and improve our air and water quality by restoring riparian cover along Irwin Creek. Find out more about our Re-Leaf Day at http://www.lagunadesantarosa.org/donate_treeathon.htm

Fundraising is made easy with the FirstGiving fundraising portal that we set up the event with. This program allows you to create your own personal web-based fundraising page to collect your donations. Instructions for fundraising can be seen on our website at http://www.lagunafoundation.org/donate_instructions.htm

On April 5th, 2014, we will spend about four hours planting hundreds of trees and plants along the Laguna de Santa Rosa at Irwin Creek. After all your hard work, we will celebrate with a pizza party! Families, individuals, and businesses are all invited to participate, everyone is welcome! The event takes place from 9am-noon and we will meet at the Laguna Environmental Center, 900 Sanford Road, Santa Rosa, 95472.
