Kick off your weekend with us and enjoy coffee, friends, and learning about how to protect our environment while improving it! Every weekend, the Compact Crew will be out doing something to help our environment. Whether it's sprucing up a rain garden, picking up litter, or pulling invasive plants, you'll meet some new people, learn something new, and spend a few hours in the sunshine.

We'll be working on a rain garden this Sunday! By helping us spruce up and maintain rain gardens, volunteers are helping protect local streams and provide habitat for local pollinators.

Volunteers should anticipate digging, planting, and mulching. We provide all tools and materials. Volunteers should bring water, snacks, and optionally their own pair of gloves if they have them. Additionally, volunteers should dress in weather appropriate clothing that they can get dirty and wear closed toe shoes.
