“It’s the perfect occasion for folks to welcome spring by spending a day outdoors with their friends or family giving back to the environment,” said Jenny Hymans, MetroParks volunteer services manager. “Volunteers are critical to helping MetroParks meet its mission to protect the region’s natural heritage and provide outdoor experiences that inspire a personal connection with nature.”
Those interested in this event may sign up to volunteer at metroparks.org. The organization recommends that large groups register early so there is enough space at all locations.
