If you are looking for some volunteer hours, and you like working with kids, this is for you! The PVAS preschool session for 3 and 4 year olds and a parent is Tuesday May 31-June 3. Hours are 9:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. This is at Yankauer Nature Preserve in Berkeley County, between Shepherdstown and Martinsburg.
You are NOT in charge of the program, just helping the main instructor with distributing materials, getting activities set up, and helping with the activities. Parents accompany their camper so all kids have a parent on site and involved in the activities.
All hours count toward Master Naturalist certification. Help each day during the week and you have 10 hours!
If you are interested, contact Ellen Murphy.
Mile-A-Minute Volunteer Opportunity
Saturday June 4 is the MN effort to remove Mile-A-Minute at Flowing Springs Park in Ranson (next to Home Depot). Time is 10 a.m.-12 noon.
This is not a lot of time, but with many hands, we will pull a lot of this weed! Bring leather gloves (we have some).
PLEASE let me know if you plan to attend so that we will know how many to plan for. This is a great way to earn 2 hours of volunteer time (VH)!!
We have a present for you if you help! And, yes, you can bring friends along.
