Upcoming Events

Love your planet!  It's the only one we've got. To celebrate Earth Week, come get down and dirty with some native plants.  Earth Day participants are invited to learn about native plants and plant them in the Park. Our volunteers will be stationed around the spillway, each with a different type of native plant that visitors can help us repopulate.  Each volunteer will be equipped to provide information about their chosen native plant while also helping participants to plant one here at our park.  If there are any plants left over, there will be a drawing from all the participants to see who gets to take a native plant home to plant in your own backyard.

The Wild Ones Appalachian Highlands Chapter has been invited to provide volunteers to assist with describing characteristics of the native plants to participants and demonstrating how to plant them.  There will be ten native plant stations open from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.  Our goal is to have enough volunteers to staff each station for 1½-hour shifts.  New members will be paired with more experienced members to learn about the plants.  Volunteers will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of native plants, connect with fellow members, and contribute to environmental education in our community.  This is a great way to celebrate Earth Day!

To volunteer or learn more, please send an email to: [email protected] by March 31st.  Please indicate if you prefer the 10:00 or 11:30 shift or can stay for both shifts.
