Howard Ecoworks - volunteer for the community

They are looking for volunteers as an alternative spring break which doesn't match UMD's spring break but that shouldn't stop someone from pursuing this! Here are more details: https://www.howardecoworks.org/alternative-spring-break Upon signing up volunteers will receive a conformation email. They will then receive more information about all the events with specific days days and times in which they can choose to attend. The events are flexible as they occur on various days within the event time period(April 11-18) and the volunteer can choose to go to one, two, some, or none of the events upon receiving the scheduled events date and time via email. My specific clean-up is set to be at 12:30-3 pm on Friday, April 18th. Though, your spring break has passed, I hope this event would still be a great opportunity for students to continue contributing to the environment and the community. What can you expect from Alternative Spring Break? ​ Moderate physical labor such as: ​​ ​ Trash cleanup ​ Weeding rain gardens ​ Making seed bombs at our native plant nursery ​ Planting trees ​ You'll also: ​ Be directed by an experienced Crew Leader ​ Receive safety training related to tools and work habits ​ Have fun and make friends!
