Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.Registration is required, no drop ins please.I regularly find myself humming (or full-blown singing at the top of my lungs if I’m by myself) songs that get stuck in my head while working in preserves, so I thought I’d try writing my very own stewardship song using the absolute BANGER “My Favorite Things” as a baseline…Because let’s be real, taking care of nature preserves with volunteers is one of my favorite things.(add musical notes)Dragging out tires through brambles and branchesPulling invasives in stubborn old patchesFinding more trash I can’t comprehendWho even litters and when will it enddddd? Discarded fridges and carpet in pilesAll taken by hand I must haul them for milesEngine blocks so rusted they start to decayWondering who thought dumping this was okay When my back hurtsAnd my boots sinkDeep into the streamI look around at all my volunteersAnd feel thankful to be part of this team.
