Volunteer Workday at Granby Park
Join us on Saturday November 8th at Granby Park to help our City in the fight against invasive plant species. Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking. There will be a waiver at the check in station followed by a briefing to discuss how to identify the plants we are removing and best practices for doing so. We will also discuss why this work is so important in the hopes participants will continue this work in their own green spaces.
