Lasts from 10 am to 1 pm.

In order to help create healthy forests, the work can include: 

Removing non-indigenous weeds (like ivy or blackberry) Maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed (weeding or spreading mulch) Planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season (often ~Oct.-Feb.) Please be aware that our work involves a range of physical activities including walking, bending, grabbing, and potentially:  

Navigating varied terrain: including uneven surfaces, slopes, and possibly muddy or sandy areas. Sustaining positions: like kneeling, crouching, or standing for extended periods. Contributing to tasks requiring visual and auditory awareness: such as identifying plant species (we will show you!) or following safety instructions.     

Youth under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. All volunteers between the ages of 14 and 17 that are not with a parent or guardian must print and bring a filled out Youth Waiver the day of the event.
