Wheel Barrels of Fun: Restoration at Whitaker Pond (age 12+) *MLK 2012*
Be one of 2,100 volunteers honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to communities throughout the Greater Portland area.
Join for a trail maintenance and planting party at Whitaker Ponds. This 25 acre nature park is home to two ponds, a ½ mile loop trail, and a black cottonwood forest full of critters. It’s also a site frequented by loads of kids and adults who come to learn about water. This winter, stewardship groups will be helping restore five new plantings areas. We’ll need help with all phases of the planting process, including spreading wood chips, flagging plants, and weeding.
What to bring: Tools and gloves will be provided for the workshop, but participants should come prepared for all weather conditions.
