Recycle your Holiday tree at Mulchfest! Bring your tree to the Third Street entrance of Prospect Park or the Park Circle entrance at Parkside Avenue and Prospect Park Southwest on Saturday, January 11 or Sunday, January 12 from 10 am to 2 pm. Your tree will be turned into environment-friendly ground cover. You can take home free mulch for your own garden. While you wait for your mulch at the Third Street entrance, you can enjoy hot chocolate, served by the Park Slope Civic Council.
Can’t make it? If you live in the area between Union and 15th Streets and between Sixth Avenue and Prospect Park West, you can leave your tree at either end of your block before 11 a.m. on both days and it will be picked up by volunteers.
We need your help to make this event a success, including helping to gather trees and transport them to the park! To volunteer, please call the Prospect Park Alliance at 718-287-3400, or e-mail the Civic Council’s Sustainability Committee, sustainability@parkslopeciviccouncil.org.
Park Slope Food Coop members can also get work credit by helping with MulchFest for the entire day (four hours). You must contact the Food Coop’s Membership Office to sign up for this credit.
MulchFest is co-sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council in partnership with the Prospect Park Alliance.
