WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Volunteers should wear appropriate clothes and shoes for the season, weather, and work. Bring gloves, reusable water bottle, shears, loppers, pruners, mattocks/polaskis, rakes, shovels—and be sure to label them.
Most of all bring your enthusiasm, smiles, and appreciation for our parks. Burn a few calories and have some fun, too! Hot dog lunch for workers at noon at either Sehmel Homestead Park or Gateway Park.
