* IN ORDER TO REGISTER AS A VOLUNTEER YOU MUST EMAIL MARY.OWENS@RALEIGHNC.GOV*

You're invited to give back to Marsh Creek Park! Volunteers are needed to assist with mulching the landscape beds to help beautify the park. Mulching plays an important role in well landscaped areas as it controls weed growth, provides moisture for plants, and an overall positive aesthetic look to the park!

Volunteer Duties: Spreading mulch around the landscaped areas at Marsh Creek Park. Volunteers will work in teams to help fill wheelbarrows, run wheelbarrows and dump mulch in identified landscape beds, and rake mulch.

Work Environment: This project will be outside so we recommend dressing for the weather by layering so that you can easily adjust to the conditions. It will also include working around cars and people in the park and on uneven surfaces. There will be restrooms available in the community center.

Volunteer Requirements: Volunteers must be at least 15 years old. All volunteers will need to sign volunteer release forms. If a volunteer is under the age of 18 then a parent or guardian will need to sign their form as well.

We will supply: tools, gloves, water, snacks, first-aid kit, bug spray and sunscreen. Volunteers must wear loose comfortable clothing that can get dirty (in layers for weather) and sturdy closed-toe shoes like hiking/work boots or sneakers.

Free parking is available in the paved parking lot at Marsh Creek Park. Additional information about the project and the volunteer release form will be sent to all registered volunteers prior to the event.

** Registration as a volunteer is first come, first served. All volunteers must register as individuals, but if you are a part of a group, please list the group in the "Registration Notes" when signing up. **

Per department policy this event cannot count towards court-appointed or suggested community service hours.
