Service Projects

We often have opportunities for school or community groups to get involved in conservation in their neighborhood. For example:

  • Planting projects: installing native plants on restoration sites.
  • Storm drain stenciling to identify areas where drains drain directly to rivers, lakes, or streams.
  • Creek clean-ups to remove trash and debris and improve water quality.
  • Got a project in mind and need some help? Give us a call!
