Make MLK Day 2018 a day ON...not a day OFF! Join AmeriCorps members and the Center for Natural Lands Management on Monday, January 18th to honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s commitment to service with a volunteer restoration project at Glacial Heritage Preserve. We will be removing invasive species, as well as participating in other restoration activities (if weather permits).
Last year our volunteers dedicated over 5,000 hours to help restore hundreds of acres back to prairie and oak woodland habitat. This invasive species removal project is essential to maintaining the progress they made last year, so come on out, get your hands dirty, and have some fun! All ages welcome!*
The event will be held on Monday, January 15th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. As always, dress for the weather and bring plenty of water and work gloves (if you have them).
We hope to see you out on the beautiful South Sound Prairies!
If you are interested, please contact Angela and Gaby at ssvolunteers@cnlm.org or call (360-464-0540) for directions and to RSVP. DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE DIRECTIONS.
*If you are under 18, please print out the emergency contact and liability release forms and have a parent or guardian sign them. Forms are located on the volunteer page of our website: southsoundprairies.org
