Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Use the Sign up link on the Volunteer Events page, then meet at the spot listed for the session you pick..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
An evening session runs under two hours. You pull invasive plants, repair trails, pick up litter and tidy green spaces, and the page says the crew finishes with a drink together. Morning sessions use hand tools for weeding, mulching and pruning, and the page prefers some gardening experience.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the Volunteer Events page for each session's meeting spot, since it changes from one session to the next.
- Bring gloves, a water bottle and clippers to an evening session if you have them.
- Start with an evening session if you have no gardening experience, since the morning crew prefers some.
- Subscribe to the RMC Volunteer Calendar from the Volunteer Events page to see upcoming sessions.
