Description

We’re excited to invite you to be part of something truly meaningful—the upcoming Annual Day of Caring Project—where we’ll roll up our sleeves to prepare the ground for a beautiful natural playscape that will serve children and families for years to come.

This project will take place in a currently overgrown area that needs some serious TLC. With your help, we’ll:

-Clear thick underbrush and remove debris to make the space safe and usable.

-Take down old barbed wire and other remnants that no longer serve the area.

-Move and arrange donated stones to begin shaping the natural play features—pathways, climbing areas, and gathering spots designed to inspire creativity and exploration.

Whether you’re great with tools, strong and ready to move rocks, or just eager to contribute in any way you can, we welcome your time, energy, and enthusiasm.

This is a hands-on project, and your participation will help create a lasting space where children can connect with nature and play freely.
