Volunteer at a Rain Garden!

If you are in need of required volunteer hours or if you're just looking for more ways to enjoy the outdoors, please join Conservation Nebraska in volunteering at Creighton Preparatory School's rain garden, located on Western Ave just west of 72nd Street! Rain gardens are a beautiful and cost-effective way of maintaining outdoor spaces that experience high levels of soil saturation or water pooling. Rain gardens help reduce runoff, filter out pollutants, and provide food and shelter for wildlife.

Volunteer tasks will consist of pulling smaller weeds by hand, digging out larger weeds, and other general garden maintenance tasks. We have a small supply of gloves and garden tools available, however, we encourage you to bring your favorite trowel or gloves if desired. Water and light snacks will be provided.

In the event of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled, but stay tuned for our July rain garden event! Please check our Facebook page @ConservationNebraska for any additional updates.
