Looking to get your hands dirty to celebrate Earth Week, then look no further! We will be planting native species, removing invasive species, mulching, repairing rabbit fencing and weeding around the Airpark Lagoon on the mornings of April 20, 21 and 22nd. This is all to re-naturalize the lagoon area for native species. Participants are asked to bring gloves, a water bottle and to dress for the weather. Water bottle refills and snacks will be provided.
