• We begin with an introduction to watersheds and local wildlife, so participants understand the value of their work on that day.
• We work on a variety of tasks that may include: picking up garbage, pulling invasive species, spreading mulch, moving materials, cleaning signage or planting native plants.
• We always have a good time - fun is one or our goals.
• After clean up, participants can be our guests at the Zoo for the afternoon.


• One adult chaperone is required for every 8 youth volunteers ages 15 years and younger.
• Youth 16-18 may participate without a chaperone, but must have parent sign waiver document.
• Children of any age can join their parents during this work.


• Please dress for the weather, which can range to very warm to very cold and rainy.
• Bring sun hats, layers, close-toed shoes that can get dirty, a water bottle and even a snack.
• We provide gloves and tools, but if you have favorites of your own, please bring them.
