Volunteer Activities Volunteer activities will include planting 5 gallon and larger sized fruit trees and native Super Tree seedlings. This includes digging holes up to 2 feet deep, adding a Mycorrhizal fungi amendment to the soil, and topping the newly planted tree with mulch. Volunteers can expect to plant about 5 trees per person. Volunteers should arrive at 8:30 am for check in. There will be a tree planting demonstration at 9 am and the planting will continue until noon.
