About the Event
Leopold's Preserve offers volunteer events on the third Saturday of each month, from February through November.
Morning shift: 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Afternoon shift: 1 PM - 3 PM
Activities rotate on a monthly basis, but typically include trail maintenance, invasive plant management, and brush clearing. All participants must register through our website so we can reach out with information about where to meet and details regarding the activity. If we need to cancel due to inclement weather, only registered participants will be notified.
Attire: all volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to protect against thorns, insect bites, and poison ivy. Anyone who is dressed inappropriately (shorts, sandals, etc.) will not be allowed to volunteer. To keep yourself comfortable, we recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and bug spray.
Equipment: please bring your own pair of protective work gloves. The gloves should be made of a sturdy material such as leather. If you can, please bring a pair of garden clippers (pruners or similar). There is no running water available on site - you must bring your own bottle of water to drink.
Keep an eye on your inbox on the day before the event. We'll send you details about where to meet and what to expect.
