💬 Why We Do This:
It started nearly 3 years ago with a simple offer to help by doing tree work. What we found was a hardworking staff doing their best to maintain sacred ground with limited resources. Since then, we’ve returned twice a year, bringing volunteers to lift that burden and keep this place looking its best.
We don’t do this for recognition or profit — we do it for a cause greater than ourselves. It’s our way of saying thank you to those who gave everything.
