Green Squad volunteers work with Lasdon staff on tasks such as invasive species removal, planting, watering, weeding, trail maintenance, mulching, trash clean up, and other tasks. The scheduled tasks will rotate weekly throughout Lasdon's 234 acres.
No experience is necessary. Come in weather appropriate clothes (coat, rain gear, hat sunscreen, insect repellent); closed-toed footwear and pants are required. Gloves and tools will be provided. Please bring your own snacks, lunch, and water bottle. This opportunity is perfect for families ages 14+ and for groups.
