Dig In for a Good Cause at Pollinator Field Day

Get your hands dirty for something that matters! Join us for Pollinator Field Day, one of our favorite volunteer events of the year! We’ll meet on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to noon at the prairie at Whetstone Park. We’re looking for volunteers to help remove invasive species and maintain the pollinator habitat. We’ll provide supplies—you bring the energy. Register for your slot today [ https://crpd.volunteerhub.com/vv2/event/0fdd38f2-2b53-4bfc-b154-7bda02b03f9a?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]!

Stick around afterward for Columbus ArborFest [ https://columbusarborfest.com/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], happening right in the park with food trucks, vendors, giveaways and more!
