21 Acres Saturday Volunteer Work Parties - Seasonal Farm Projects!
Are you a climate activist looking for ways to get involved?
Join 21 Acres and other likeminded people for a day full of rewarding
farm projects, Saturdays (10:00am - 2:00pm). First-time volunteers
should arrive at 9:30am for a brief orientation and introduction.
Help US on a variety of SEASONAL FARM PROJECTS THAT BUILD SOIL HEALTH
AND GET THE FARM IN SHAPE FOR THE NEXT GROWING SEASON. Your help
supports local food systems by increasing farm productivity; creating
more native habitat for animals, birds, and insects; decreasing storm
water runoff; and pulling carbon out of the atmosphere through green
plant material._ Activities include seeding, transplanting, planting,
weeding, mulching, wheelbarrowing, fighting back invasive plants and
more! No prior farm experience required._
Friends and family 13 years and older are welcome to join! Volunteers
ages 13-15 need an adult participant volunteering with them, and
anyone under the age of 18 needs a parent/guardian signature.
Save some time and fill out a volunteer application
[https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/ap?ap=1058912171] before
arriving. To help you prepare for a day on the farm here are some
notes to consider:
* Remember to check the weather and dress accordingly.
* Wear loose-fitting comfortable layers you don’t mind getting
dirty or ruined.
* Long sleeves and long pants are recommended when removing
blackberries and other thorny weeds.
* Raincoats and rubber boots may be necessary on rainy days.
* Please wear closed-toe shoes for your safety.
* Bring a reusable water bottle and plenty of snacks or sack lunch
to stay fueled and hydrated!
