The Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, a 501c3 non-profits operates the Discovery Center, an extraordinaire collection of hands-on exhibits, 3 miles of trails and an expansive Native Garden. We are in need of volunteer landscapers or people who have an interest and affinity to working outside. With the heavy rains, many of our native gardens and trails are inundated with weeds, and invasive plants. The work ranges from easy to hard, and we can accommodate any outdoor level of work. We have the tools and supplies as well. We are simply looking for a few hard working people who can consistently put in an hour or two a week and help us groom these gardens and trails, at their own pace and schedule. If interested please email emily.watts@aguahedionda.org
