Opportunity Details
Saturday in the Trees (age 5+) *MLK 2016*
Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Join us as we contribute to the MLK Jr. Day of Service with some outdoor work. Spaces like the Hoyt Arboretum are key in building strong communities, exposing kids (and adults!) to nature, and providing a much needed respite from city life.
Work will include some brush removal, invasive species removal, and possibly some weather related tasks. It should be awfully fun and a great way to get dirty with some fine folks.
All tools, work gloves, and materials will be provided. Please wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, and sturdy footwear; bring water and snacks.
