Freshen Up the Farm (age 14+) *STW 2017*
We will be preparing the Farm for our busy summer camp and harvest season with a variety of projects. Volunteers will be helping us do a variety of projects to freshen up the farm for our summer season. These include invasive species removal and possible native planting, general grounds maintenance (mulching paths, weeding garden beds), working with the farmers in the fields, and getting farm spruced up for hosting hundreds of summer campers.
Wear comfortable and weather appropriate clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Close toed shoes are a must. Zenger Farm has lots of work gloves you can use, but feel free to bring your own if you like. Bring a water bottle and sunscreen.
