About this Event
Join Se7en Wetlands for a hands-on morning of environmental restoration! We'll be planting native plants at Outreach Pond, an area of ongoing restoration. This small pond was once full of invasive species - with your help, it will become a healthy ecosystem! Your efforts will directly help restore habitat for native wildlife. Enjoy a fun tram ride to and from the restoration site!
No experience is required for this event! Please register to participate.
Note: Volunteers will likely get dirty! Please wear clothes you are okay with getting some dirt on. Rubber boots or hiking boots are recommended.
