REMINDER: Volunteers Needed for Round Rock’s Earth Day Festival, Apr 12

We are still looking for a collection of enthusiastic native plant volunteers to staff a booth during Round Rock’s Earth day festival. If you are able to lend a hand, please fill out the volunteer form at the link below. Thank you!

Gary wonders, “What do you call a group of native plant volunteers? A Thicket of Volunteers, or a Bloom of Botanists, or a Canopy of Conservationists?”

Volunteer for the City of Round Rock’s Earth Day Festival, at Memorial Park, 600 N Lee St, Round Rock, TX 78664, on April 12, 2025. Promote Texas native plants at this free event which is geared towards all ages and with a wide variety of activities and services creating awareness regarding Earth Day. NPSOT-Wilco will have an educational tabling event and a plant giveaway.

The event is from 9am-12pm. NPSOT volunteers shifts run from 8:30am-12:30pm. You can volunteer for the whole day, or for any of the shifts. Details are in the sign up form.

Sign up to volunteer with NPSOT by completing the volunteer form at this link.
