Utah’s Hogle Zoo Conservation Action – Fall Planting

October 17 at 10:00 am

Hosted by Jordan River Commission, Utah’s Hogle Zoo
Location TBD

Fall planting season is here! Help install tall-pot trees or understory plants to build diverse habitat.

With the return of cold weather comes the return of planting season! During these cold months, plants are able to focus all of their energy on developing a robust root system to sustain them through the following spring and summer. Based on need and plant availability this event will either focus on the planting on tall-pot trees, with a 32-inch long root system, or understory plants to diversify and stratify the habitat to best serve the diverse wildlife that rely on it. If you are not up for digging you can help deliver plants or water, spread native seed, or do trash removal in the area.

Exact event location will be determined based on need.

What to Bring & Wear:

  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
  • Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc.)
  • A reusable water bottle – we will provide a cooler for refills

Hogle Zoo will provide all necessary tools for the event.

Please submit one registration per participant. Adult guardians may register children who are volunteering with them.
