Volunteers will continue removing invasive species in Shoal Creek Sanctuary. This is Shoal Creek Sanctuary's third MLK Day of Service. We will start by giving an overview of our larger goal to restore wildflowers and pollinators by building Sanctuary Gardens around the county. See https://www.discoverlife.org/gardens. Be sure to wear close toed shoes and weather appropriate clothing. 

• This site is for all ages.
• Volunteers should wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and dress in layers. 
• Bring a filled reusable water bottle.

Registration Notes
Children under 18 should be registered by their parent/guardian. To do this, select "Add Attendee" at the top of the registration page BEFORE submitting your registration form. Check the box that says "Check if minor" and you will then be prompted to enter a first and last name (you do not need to enter an email for a minor). All volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please note that we are unable to accommodate large group registrations. If you have a group that would like to volunteer at the same site, each individual must separately register through GivePulse.
