Help restore natural pond habitat at Se7en Wetlands! No experience required!
Join Se7en Wetlands for a hands-on morning of environmental restoration! We'll be planting native plants at Outreach Pond, an area of ongoing restoration. This small pond was once full of invasive species - with your help, it will become a healthy ecosystem! Your efforts will directly help restore habitat for native wildlife. Enjoy a fun tram ride to and from the restoration site!
No experience is required for this event! Please register to participate.
Note: Volunteers will likely get dirty! Please wear clothes you are okay with getting some dirt on. Rubber boots or hiking boots are recommended.
Please arrive promptly at 8:30AM - a tram will transport volunteers from the parking area to the restoration site and will leave at the event start time. The restoration site is approximately 1.5 miles from the entrance.
