McKittrick Trailhead Tree Planting

April 16, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Come join us in restoring riparian forest as we plant 50 native Missouri trees at the McKittrick Trailhead at Katy Trail State Park. Your efforts will be beneficial in replacing trees lost to flooding and disease and will help replenish the much-needed forest population alongside the Katy Trail.

Participants will meet at the McKittrick Trailhead to receive supplies and instructions. Volunteers are reminded to wear layers of clothing for the spring season, including comfortable/high-top hiking shoes. Restrooms are located at the trailhead. 

Contact the Graham Cave State Park office by phone at 573-564-3476 for registration information. You can also register online with Better Impact by clicking here. For special needs, call the park office.

The native tree-planting project is being sponsored in partnership between Forest Releaf, Magnificent Missouri and Missouri State Parks.

EVENT TIME: 9 A.M. – 11 A.M.
EVENT LOCATION: MCKITTRICK TRAILHEAD (KATY TRAIL MILE MARKER 100.8)

Jess Underwood
Finance & Operations Director

After 17 years in the non-profit and public sector, Jess remains committed to mission-driven work that tackles the challenges facing our communities. Their career began with a year of service as an Americorps St. Louis Emergency Response team member, responding to natural disasters and performing conservation projects. That foundation of service led to roles supporting the arts, affordable housing, mental health, and grassroots housing advocacy in St. Louis. During this journey Jess has worked to center the value “nothing about us, without us.” They do their best to ensure that the voices of people who have been marginalized guide the strategy and execution of work that honors their lived experiences. When they aren’t working, Jess is out paddling, hiking, working in their garden, or building something.
