Help us restore and protect the incredible ecosystems of Maple Bay Natural Area by installing native plants grown in GTRLC’s very own greenhouse! Volunteers will learn about and take an active part in the Conservancy’s restoration of this site by planting several species of flowering plants and grasses in order to further strengthen this ecologically unique shoreline.

GTRLC will supply gloves, tools, and anything else necessary for the work day. Our team will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, and how to properly plant our native species. No prior experience is necessary - just come ready to learn something new! This task will be a moderate activity level, with volunteers often bending and kneeling to plant plugs. A porta john is available in the parking area where we’ll be meeting.

Dress for the weather! Always check the forecast in advance
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes that can handle some mud
Bring a reusable water bottle and some snacks
Sunscreen and bug spray for your safety and comfort
