THE DETAILS: RRF will provide the necessary tools, supplies and work gloves which will be sanitized prior to each use. There are no training requirements for this opportunity, however it is somewhat physical since most of the work is outdoors. Volunteers must be willing and able to participate in manual labor for at least 2 hours outdoors in varying weather conditions.

Activities could include, but are not limited to: Removing invasive species, establishing native plants and trees, maintaining trails, seed collecting and cleaning, controlling erosion. All activities are important for improving the quality and access of the habitat surrounding Milwaukee's river basin.

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and close-toed shoes. Other items to consider: water bottle, sunscreen, bug repellent
