'Tis the season for more outdoor activities. Check out this week's event guide, which includes everything from planting trees to live music to an outdoor yoga class.

  • Plant trees. Sioux Empire United Way's Emerging Leaders group is teaming up with the Parks & Rec department to plant trees from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday at Cherry Rock Park. Happy hour to follow – sign up here.
  • Bake bread. The Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum is hosting a sourdough bread making class Wednesday (today) from 10 a.m. to noon. Details and sign-up here.
  • Do yoga outside (because it's warm now!). Prana Sioux Falls is hosting a donation-based yoga class benefitting the Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Awareness. Class starts at 9:30 a.m. by the Arc of Dreams (and this event will continue weekly throughout the summer.) More info here.
