Give

Volunteers are needed to help Great Rivers Greenways and Forest ReLeaf of Missouri maintain newly planted trees at North Riverfront Park. 

Volunteers will help mulch tree rings by weeding around trees, shoveling mulch into wheelbarrows, and making mulch rings around newly planted trees. No experience is necessary for this activity, but it does involve physical labor and walking over varying terrain.

No experience necessary; Forest ReLeaf and Great Rivers Greenway staff will teach volunteers the proper mulching technique.

What to wear: Please dress for the weather and bundle up if the weather is chilly. Long pants and closed toe shoes are required. Gloves will be provided.

What to bring: All tools will be provided. Please bring a water bottle to help us reduce plastic waste. Light snacks and water will be provided.

All ages are welcome!

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.
