WORKDAY UPDATE - NEW DATE AND TIME

This Saturday we will now be at Kuechmann Park spreading woodchips and pulling weeds in an effort to complete these projects while weather permits. No experience needed! Just bring your enthusiasm, and we’ll provide snacks!

We will also have Red Oaks and Catalpa Trees available (suggested $5 donation) - so come on by and grab one while they last!

We will reschedule the birding workday for a future day, so be on the lookout for that information..
