Who can come: everyone of all ages, as long as parents accompany children (no pets please)

What to bring: work gloves, rakes and clippers (we have extras if needed); appropriate clothing to keep you comfy and happy while you work on the riverbanks and in the park (even in the rain if weather turns wet); sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, and friends.

What we’ll bring: breakfast burrito and drinking water
