There’s a lot going on right now. But if you need to be around community for a bit, we have one slot open Friday night for luminary prep.

It was another successful fall neighborhood pick-up! Thanks all who came perhaps a bit tired and a little cold to pick-up the neighborhood that welcomes us all season.

When volunteering and education meet! It was a beautiful fall day for buckthorn removal followed by lunch and beers on a patio. We cut a lot of buckthorn, learned a lot, and can’t wait to do it again!

Join us Saturday to help restore the “North Meadow” at Theodore Wirth park! This area of the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden & Bird Sanctuary has been overtaken by buckthorn, but it was once a biodiverse ecosystem. Afterwards, we will grab some beers at Utepils!
