Engage, Understand, Preserve
|
There's always something to do at the Grist Mill, whether you're looking for volunteer opportunities or just looking to learn a little more about your area. If you are interested in helping to manage, restore, or preserve the land for present and future generations, Stewardship Days may be just the thing you're looking for. Join us every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month to help remove invasive species, trash, or collect seeds. You will get on-the-job training for these days.
Nature Walks
If you're just looking to get out of the house and learn something new, take a hike with one of our seasoned volunteers or staff members. Take a look at the schedule to find the perfect time for you and your family!
