Any time between 10:00am - 2:00pm:
-Plant and take home your own native wildflower - Meet members of our Conservation team, learn about the soil in the park, plant your own wildflower in a container, and take it home!
-Pick up supplies to go plogging. What is plogging, you ask? Picking up Litter while Jogging! Grab a bag and gloves and take them with you as you go out anywhere into the Park to pick up litter you might spot on the trails. Thank you to The Buzz Magazines for partnering with us on this effort!
