Plant rescue in south Georgetown, Dec 2, 2023

Volunteer with us Saturday, December 2, from 10am-1pm as we rescue plants from a 20 acre meadow site. There is a 1/2 mile hike into the property from the parking area. You may dig plants to take for your own projects, and if you are able, you may help collect small fossils that will be used in STEM classes for children. Also, an owner representative will be onsite during the rescue taking photos. The plant list and further details can be found at the signupgenius link below.

You must be a current NPSOT member (any chapter) and at least 18 to attend. (Join NPSOT or renew here.)
