Volunteers interested can join us in helping the New Jersey Botanical Gardens with fall daffodil planting. The goal is to cover an entire hill at the garden (affectionately named “Daff Hill”) with flowers. We will be meeting at the Ramapo Valley County Reservation at 9:30 a.m. and carpooling to the gardens, which are located in Ringwood, NJ, from there. Bring water and snacks (if you want) and be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty!

Once again, M.E.V.O. will be volunteering with the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference to help restore damaged hiking trail land. We will be working at the Wanaque Reservoir restoring the Post Brook Trail. Please keep in mind that the work we will be doing is very strenuous, and the physical labor will be very tiring. We will be carpooling to this event to reduce CO2 emissions (fewer cars = less CO2). Please be sure to wear boots, jeans, and clothes you can get dirty. Bring lots of water and lunch, as we will be working well into the day. We will be meeting at the Ramapo Valley County Reservation (a.k.a. “The Res”) parking lot in Mahwah, NJ at 9:00 a.m., and carpool to Wanaque from there.  If you want to lend a helping hand, then send an e-mail to mevovolunteers@mahwahevo.org with your name, age, and phone number.
