April 22, 2023. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

In commemoration of Earth Day, learn about native plants and how they benefit pollinators. Plants that are native to our region will be on display. The program will educate visitors on how to care for these plants and the benefits of growing them. Following the program, volunteers are invited to help us plant them in our Pollinator Garden. The garden is located directly behind the visitor center. Gardening materials and hand tools will be provided by the park as well as protective gloves.  

Volunteers are encouraged to dress comfortably, apply sunscreen protection, and bring something to keep hydrated and to snack on. For questions, please call us at (804) 561-7510.
