Event Description:
Come join one of our Parks crews as we mulch Fletcher Park.
Volunteer Duties: Volunteers will use wheelbarrows, pitchforks, hard rakes and other tools as needed to help spread mulch in our landscaped beds.
Volunteer Impact: Mulching our landscape beds does not just enhance the look of the park, it actually helps with controlling weeds and water retention in the landscape beds.
Work Environment: We will be working outside in the elements so dress accordingly. There is the possibility of uneven ground. Also, there is a restroom on site.
Special Details: We will supply tools, gloves, snacks, water, sunscreen, bug spray and a first aid kit. Please wear loose comfortable clothing that can get dirty and sturdy closed-toe shoes such as sneakers or hiking/work boots.
Volunteer Requirements: Volunteers must be at least 12 years old. Anyone under the age of 16, must be accompanied by an adult. All volunteers will need to fill out a release form. Any volunteer under the age of 18, will need to have their parent or guardian fill this out as well.
Per department policy this event cannot count towards court-appointed or suggested community service hours.
**Registration as a volunteer is first come, first served. If interested in registering a group, please email mary.owens@raleighnc.gov . We require a list of names and their email addresses to hold spots for groups.*
