This Work Day, sponsored by The Friends of Spy Pond Park, aims to clean up the park and re-establish native plants throughout. You too can help to control erosion and maintain the natural balance and beauty of the park. Volunteers of all ages, come help us maintain fern and wildflower beds, eliminate invasive plants, and weed out tree saplings around Spy Pond.

• Teens - earn community service points
• Kids - work alongside parents

Even if you have limited time, please join us. A surprising amount of noxious false indigo can be chopped down in a half-hour!

• Meet by the playground at Pond Lane (see map of the park on website)
• Bring water to drink, gloves and garden tools, or use ours
  
• All volunteers must sign the Workday Waiver Form each season (see website)

We look forward to a productive year, with help from our community!
