This event will also provide information about an exciting opportunity for you to volunteer with the Community Stewardship Alliance program which launched in 2021.
Check-in and registration is at 8:45a.m. After entering the park, turn right at the first road and turn into the first parking lot on the left which is below the aquatic center. There will be signs posted with arrows for directions.
Volunteers will be planting native flowers and cut honeysuckle and treating with herbicide and hand-pulling wintercreeper. Please come dressed for the weather. Please bring your own filled water bottle to the event. Work gloves and tools will be provided.
In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for Saturday, April 16.
