Help Harvest and Prep for Fall

Volunteers will help in harvesting the farm and well as do some planting and removing invasive species in preparation for the Fall season. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, or 2-13 years old with an adult and signed Youth Waiver to participate in this event.  Wear closed toe shoes, long sleeves, long pants and items you do not mind getting dirty. Bring a reusable water bottle. Tools, gloves, and instruction will be provided. A volunteer adult and youth waiver forms will be provided at check-in and must be signed by each volunteer prior to starting work.

PARKING: Pull in the open driveway - not the gated one - and park in the grass along the fence. There will be a sign at the driveway entrance. This project is a part of 9/11: Serve + Remember.
