Help prep and install an amazing native garden at the corner of Scudder and Woodbine Ave.

“LILCO Beautification Project” – Volunteers Needed

NNGI will be planting a native garden along the property of the LILCO building on the corner of Woodbine and Scudder Avenues in downtown Northport. It’s a fairly large project – one designed to beautify, educate, and of course, provide a beneficial habitat for our pollinators. We need your help!

The Project will require two days – a Prep day and an Installation day. Please review what is required for participation for each of these events and then sign up for whichever day or days you feel you would enjoy and be suited for. 

 

Prep Day – Monday, September 19th at  5:30pm (meet at Brew Cheese)

This part of the Project is labor intensive. We need volunteers who will be able to handle the physical demands of the job, including:

  • Carrying 40 – 50 pound bags

  • Digging and breaking up hard soil

  • Removing debris

  • Cutting and removing tree roots

  • Spreading topsoil and compost

  • Please bring your own equipment if you have it

    • Gloves

    • Shovels – large and small

    • Rakes – for leveling dirt

Installation Day – Sunday, September 25th at  8:30am (meet at Brew Cheese)

This will be the day that plants will be planted according to an established design. We need volunteers who would be willing to:

  • Watch a short video as to the optimal way to place new plants in the ground

  • Properly dig and place each plant in its designated spot

  • Please bring your own equipment if you have it

    • Gloves

    • Shovels – large and small
