Celebrate Arbor Day By Reforesting Spring Mill State Park

Last updated on Thursday, March 19, 2015

(MITCHELL) - The public can help Spring Mill State Park celebrate national Arbor Day next month by supporting tree planting efforts in the campground.

Spring Mill is seeking donations to buy trees to replace the more than 100 ash trees the campground lost to the emerald ash borer infestation.

The park also needs volunteers to help plant the new trees on Saturday, April 25, the day after Arbor Day. Planting will start at 10 a.m.

The park plans to buy 100 to 150 trees through donations. Prices range from $30 to $40 per tree.

Checks should be made to Spring Mill State Park. Donations can be brought to the park office or mailed to P.O. Box 376, Mitchell, IN 47446. (Be sure to specify this is an Arbor Day donation.)

If you are unable to donate but would like to volunteer, email springmillstatepark@dnr.IN.gov or call (812) 849-3534.
