Pier Park Pick-Up

We will be removing invasives like ivy and blackberry, picking up litter, dragging fallen limbs into piles, and weeding the new beds of native plant to help give them a good start. All ages and families are welcome. Work begins at 9 am with a short orientation talk and finishes up about noon. Wear good work shoes and be prepared for the weather. If you have them, bring your own work gloves and a container for water. We will have fresh water to fill your containers. Friends of Pier Park will also provide coffee and donuts for all volunteers.
