Accessibility: Please note that our activity for the day will involve walking on uneven terrain, slopes and wet/muddy surfaces. 

What to bring: Closed-toe shoes, a FULL water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and comfortable outdoor clothing (preferably long pants and sleeves for protection). We will provide all tools and gloves – if you have your own gardening or work gloves, you are welcome to bring them. 

A NOTE ON SAFETY: We encourage you to “See and Be Seen!” Be mindful of your fellow volunteers and maintain awareness of your surroundings at all times. Dial 911 in case of emergency.

In the event of dangerous inclement weather such as lightning, hail, or heavy winds/ rain, APF staff will direct volunteers to vacate the site immediately.
