LLELA 3rd Saturday Workday
9:00 a.m. until 12 Noon
If you have been lookingfor a chance to volunteer at LLELA on the weekend, this is it.
The tasks of the LLELA 3rd Saturday work crew focus on working alongside and mentoring high school students who earn volunteer credits for honors programs and other youth associations. Students and Master Naturalist volunteers participate in a rotation of activities which expose them to natural science and conservation. Master Naturalist volunteers provide guidance and assistance and engage students in conversation about the workthey are doing to restore the land and create habitat.
Angela Lewallen, Blackland Prairie Master Naturalist and Lewisville Parks Board member, leads the effort, which is open to all Chapters.
The team will meet at 9:00 a.m. on the first Saturday of the month at the LLELA Blackjack Trial parking lot. Tell the gate attendant you are at LLELA to volunteer. Parking for the offices, classrooms, visitor center, Blackjack Trailhead, and nursery complex is located on the right-hand gravel drive just past the gate house. To get involved send an email to Angela at an*************@***il.com.
Be prepared for work in the field. Wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather (hot, wet, cold depending on the season), bring water, hat, and sunscreen.
