No experience necessary, all ages welcome; gloves and tools are provided.

August 31 | Join us for a Clean Up in Gallagher Hill Open Space

Gallagher Hill Open Space is a beautiful park with old trees, a thriving stream, and plenty of native plant and animal life. A lot of the park is unfortunately being overgrown with blackberry and ivy, threatening the health of this vital ecosystem. Situated above the freeway Gallagher Hill is an important respite of nature that is well worth protecting. Come join us for a park clean-up where we will be removing blackberry and ivy. It will be a great chance to get your hands in the dirt, learn about native plants and our local forests, and work alongside neighbors and friends! No experience necessary; gloves and tools are provided.

  • When: Thursday, August 31st, 3pm-5pm
  • Where: Gallagher Hill Open Space off of Shorewood Dr, follow VOLUNTEER EVENT Signs
  • What to bring: Dress for the weather in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (think: long pants, boots or sneakers). Bring a water bottle. Small snacks, gloves, and tools will be provided.
