MLK Day of Service At Whittier Park

Calendar Happens On Jan 20, 2020
Time 9am to 12pm
Expired

Description

Do you ever think about how you are connected to your local park and the critters in it? In anticipation of Martin Luther King Jr Day we've been thinking about what he said about our interconnectedness. He said:

"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny."

In that spirit, let's strengthen that "network of mutuality" this MLK day and improve this hidden nature oasis so that it can be a get away from urban sprawl for the people and the critters we love!

Activities include:

  • Adding a thick layer of wood chips to help sustain the plants through the winter and into the summer.
  • Removal of harmful plants


Training: We'll provide all the training you'll need!

To bring:

  • Water bottle
  • Warm clothes that can get dirty
  • Your friends and family :-)

Be sure to dress warmly and wear clothes you can get dirty in!
