This is TCWC’s largest annual volunteer event! Join us afterwards for a group celebration with pizza – this is a fun chance to see and hear what all happened across the watershed and who with. The pizza party location will be a 2-9 minute drive from sites.

If you’d like to help out somehow other than hands-on weeding & planting (photography? coffee runs?) please reach out (alexis@tryoncreek.org).
Volunteer notes:
– Dress in layers for the weather (hats, close-toed shoes you can get muddy, etc.) and bring your own, full water bottle and snacks.
– We will email you a waiver that can be returned electronically in advance; some sites may require additional in-person waivers to be signed.
– Gloves and tools will be provided as needed; please consider bringing your own if you are able (tools will depend per site – we’ll email you details).
– Masks are welcomed, and please stay home if you have been exposed, are experiencing symptoms, and/or test positive for COVID-19 (& other illnesses).
Thank you!! We are always excited for this event and can’t wait to make a positive on-the-ground impact together!
