Whether you're a long-time Wagbo volunteer or this is your first time, come on out for the camaraderie and learn how you can share your skills for our upcoming programming at the farm. If you are coming to work please dress for the weather. There are a few inside tasks, but it will be mostly outdoor fun. Come out for all or part of the day.

In addition to tree planting and dedication, we will play some outdoor games in celebration of Earth Day and Spring, as well as make a Spring-themed craft.
