We’re thrilled to announce our next volunteer restoration event, and we can’t wait to see you back at the farm.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 12th, from 10 AM to 1 PM and come be part of something special. Visit a wetland, meadow, forest, hedgerows, and riparian areas all stewarded by volunteers.
Co-learn about restoration techniques for invasive plant removal.
See how biodiversity can benefit farmers and food producers.
Meet like-minded people.
Give back to nature!
Also, Dr. Purnima Govindarajulu will be attending and will do amphibian exploration of the ponds! This includes using techniques to see which creatures are inhabiting the ponds. Great activity for families!
And the best part? Lunch is on us! At 12 PM, We will be serving lunch for all volunteers—so come hungry and ready for a nutritious meal with great company.
This little patch of land thrives because of your dedication, and there’s no better way to reconnect with nature, meet like-minded folks, and make a real impact. Whether you’re a longtime volunteer or new to the HUB community, we’d love to have you there!
