Help steward the Museum Park by supporting staff in their restoration initiatives. Volunteers plant native species around the Park to increase biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife. Includes walking up to a mile total on paved and grassy surfaces with slight inclines as well as lifting, bending, and digging. These projects occur twice a year, weather permitting, in fall and spring.
Fall Service Project in the Park is a bi-annual volunteer morning where community members help restore the native habitats surrounding the museum. What to Know: This outdoor activity is free to attend, but you should register in advance to secure a spot. It is best suited for older children and teenagers, as the work requires digging, lifting, and walking up to a mile on uneven grassy slopes. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring work gloves if you have them, and pack water bottles for everyone in your group. Park in the main museum lots, which offer plenty of free spaces close to the trailheads. This project offers a productive way to spend a Saturday morning outdoors, teaching kids about local ecology through physical, rewarding work that benefits the local environment.
