Summer Work Days Did you know that in addition to the every other Saturday Work Days, ECM has Summer Work Days every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am - 3 pm during the months of June and July? A group from Youthworks sends us 15 volunteers each of those days and other groups can also sign up. So far we've already had groups from Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.....and that's just the first two weeks! If you're interested in bringing out a group during the week, contact Angela. Community Forester Program You can help ensure the health and vitality of Denver's trees! A partnership between The Park People and Denver Parks & Recreation, the Community Forester Program empowers individuals to lead tree planting and care activities within the community. Once trained, Community Foresters can lead and participate in tree planting and care projects in their neighborhoods as well as activities for The Park People, Denver's Forestry Division, and The Mile High Million tree planting initiative. This is a great opportunity to support our environment, urban greening, community health, and quality of life in Denver. For more details, click here.
