Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to a Saturday open volunteer hour, 10 am to 12 pm, in Fernhill Park..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Saturday hours run from 10 am to noon, and the group says anyone can help. Tasks include watering newly planted trees, weeding, spreading mulch, and planting or community work days when they are scheduled. The site does not state a cost, and Weavers Way co-op members can count their hours here.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email fernhillfoodforest@gmail.com to confirm the meeting spot before you come, since the article gives no street address.
  • Plan on outdoor, hands-on work such as weeding and mulching.
  • Weavers Way Co-op members can count these hours toward their co-op volunteer time.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The group's article says anyone can help during the Saturday open hours. The page does not say whether advance sign-up is needed..
