Description: Volunteers will help AWS with a Meadow Restoration Workday at Kingman Island! We will focus on removing invasive plants, picking up trash, and if needed, do some re-seeding in the meadow. This will help us to create habitat for pollinators and help the native plants to continue to flourish. We will provide all necessary tools and supplies.

Physical Requirements: This event will likely involve digging, lifting, bending, and walking for fair distances. Participants will be expected to wear closed-toed shoes for the duration of the event. The event is not suitable for children or those with health issues. If you think any of the physical requirements will be problematic, please let us know.

Registration is required. Please register at least 2 days prior to the event date you chose to volunteer in order to receive additional information regarding proper clothing, etc.
