The Cape Fear Botanical Garden is looking for a special volunteer willing to undertake a project for us to upgrade our education pavilion recycling station. School groups often eat lunch at the pavilion after field trips and fill the recycling bin with trash. In order to make the recycling area more usable for children, we would like to add educational signage showing what can be recycled, different color bins, and a display on the importance of recycling, The volunteer would need to meet with staff to see the space, create some drafts of signs and review them with staff, and then create a final version to install in the pavilion.
