We hope you leave this event feeling more connected to the nature in your community, and gain new insight about what you can do to improve the health of waterways. We will be providing some snacks, but you are welcome to bring your own if you would like. We also want to offer you the opportunity to enjoy lunch with us after the event ends at noon, but we will have to-go options available if you want to take the lunch and head out after the event concludes. We are happy to sign off any community service forms you may have for school since you will be helping our teams protect this important ecosystem!
