TreeUtah Sapling Rescue at Alta

Volunteer with TreeUtah and the Alta Environmental Center as we harvest saplings that have grown along Alta’s ski runs. This sapling rescue will take place on Saturday, July 27th from 9:00am to noon at Alta.

To give these small native saplings a better chance of survival, we carefully remove them and take them to our on-site nursery where they are cared for by Alta Environmental Center staff. The trees are then planted safely on the mountain at a later date.

We will bring all the tools necessary. We ask that you wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and enough layers to plant comfortably in the day's weather. We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle, so we can all stay hydrated as we work.

We are so excited to spend a wonderful Summer morning with you all in one of Utah's iconic canyons. Alta has been an awesome community partner for many years and it's always a treat to work with their crew at the Alta Environmental Center.
