It supports a variety of native pollinators, birds, mammals, and other wildlife. We'll be meeting at the Lake Solano Park Nature Center at 9:30 am and working until noon. Please dress appropriately for the weather in clothes that can get dirty and wear closed-toe shoes. Bring a hat and water bottle. We will provide all the tools and supplies, including gloves. If you are under 18, you MUST bring this completed liability form with a parent's signature. This event will happen rain or shine. PCC will bring ponchos and mud boots if necessary. You can register for this event online. We look forward to working with you!
