Volunteer Opportunities:

 

Garden helpers - To weed, cut grass, plant bulbs or trees, prune or other  landscaping duties, either on a regular or as-needed basis.

Litter Busters - To walk a designated area picking up trash. This would make a wonderful project for young ones needing a community service project for their school or organization.
