Summer Volunteer Series: Woodland Garden Installation
We're continuing our work at the restoration site at the Dead River Community Forest, this time with a woodland garden! Field days will take place throughout the summer, at least once a month. Since weather is unpredictable, Em will reach out about 1 week before the field days with a time to meet at the site. There are multiple ways to get involved, including creating signage for those who are unable to reach the site. Learn more and sign up below!
No worries if you are not able to make it to all of the volunteer days!
