Have you ever wanted to see our cool inclusive outdoor playspaces? Do you like doing yardwork and want to benefit children? We've got the job for you!
We're seeking volunteers to help us with some of our heavy-duty yardwork! Volunteers will help expand trail access on our 1/4 mile inclusive nature trail, moving mulch, moving small rocks to improve drainage areas, etc.
All you need to bring is yourself - we will supply all necessary materials and will have refreshments available.
