  • Nov. 9: TreeUtah Planting in Lehi, 9:00 a.m. at Thanksgiving Point Trailhead Park, down the road from 2769 Cottonwood Drive, Lehi. Event by Tree Utah: "When you arrive at the planting site, look for our big green tent to make sure you're in the right place and to check in. Once everyone has arrived, we'll begin with a brief safety talk and planting demonstration. Then, we'll split into small groups and get planting. We'll bring the trees, tools, gloves, and expertise to guide you through the planting process. We ask that you wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, enough layers to plant comfortably in the day's weather, and sun protection. We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle to fill at our water station. So we know to expect you, please fill out our Volunteer Waiver."
