*REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED*

Each spring, the Friends welcome approximately 500 volunteers for a two-day event focused on planting trees! Volunteers work with trained foresters to plant trees on this reclaimed strip mine, healing the landscape, creating new wildlife habitats, and making a living memorial to the passengers and crew members of Flight 93. To date over 116,000 native tree seedlings have been planted across the memorial. Native species such as white pine, Eastern hemlock, black cherry, sugar maple, black locust, white oak, hickory, silky dogwood, elderberry, and American chestnuts are being planted. When the project is completed a total of 150,000 trees will have been planted at Flight 93 National Memorial.
