On Saturday, April 27, Mass Audubon will be hosting outdoor volunteer opportunities near you—from the Berkshires to Martha’s Vineyard. Spend the morning volunteering and lend a hand on a variety of community clean-up projects. Resurface trails, clean up trash and debris from salt marshes, help with trail maintenance, remove invasive plants, install new trail signage and bridges, trim trees, and more. Once the rakes and gloves get put away, celebrate your accomplishments over snacks and lunch while learning about local plants and wildlife and the importance of habitat restoration. Then hit the trails to explore the other areas of the sanctuary.

Other opportunities include:

*** April 20 – Volunteer Stream Cleanup at Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center and Wildlife Sanctuary, Worcester

*** April 26 – Nighttime Noises at Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Princeton

*** April 27 – Saturday morning Birding in Essex County at Osgood Hill, North Andover

*** April 27 – Volunteer Earth Day Salt Marsh Clean-up at Joppa Flats Education Center, Newburyport
