Get outside and give back this Winter at one of our weekly volunteer work
parties. We will restore wildlife habitat, maintain trails, pick up litter, plant native

and (of course) have fun!
We provide tools, gloves, and direction while following all current safety protocols.
You wear sturdy shoes, layers appropriate for the weather, and bring a water
bottle and snack. All ages and abilities welcome. Pre-registration is required.
