Volunteer Calendar for Miller and Walker Creeks Stewardship
All volunteer events are cancelled until further notice due to COVID-19 concerns. We will reassess future volunteer events in response to relevant state and local government guidance as it evolves.
Ready to get dirty for a good cause? This page lists opportunities to help:
- Plant native trees and shrubs
- Pull out invasive non-native plants
- Clean up litter
The volunteer projects listed below welcome people of all ages. Younger people may need to be accompanied by an adult -- check with the event organizers.
Unless otherwise noted, no experience is necessary -- you'll learn on the job!
By volunteering, you will be helping to make the Miller and Walker Creek basins better for the people, fish, and wildlife that share it.
What to Bring
Bring a filled water bottle. Please wear sturdy clothes that will protect you from the weather and thorny plants, and that you don't mind getting dirty! Gloves, tools, and light refreshments are provided.
