The event will happen rain or shine!
What will volunteers be doing at the event?
While the exact tasks can vary, our projects focus on improving the forests and parks in our local cities. Healthy and thriving beaches are vital to our community because they absorb and filter rain water, buffer against extreme weather events, breakdown of organic materials and pollutants; water filtration, and provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to help green spaces, the work can include, but is not limited to:
- Picking up trash and litter
- Learning about local wildlife
- Having fun!
