Catherine is looking for a few good gardeners to help with maintaining the gardens at Bug Light. The project will meet every other week on Tuesday morning from 8 am to 9 am at Bug Light to work on the garden. If you can help out please go to the volunteer signup and indicate the weeks you can do it.
Catherine is also looking for someone to volunteer to lead another small team to do the same for the garden area next to the picnic shelter at Fort Williams. You can either email Catherine or go to the volunteer list and sign up, it's the last item on that list.
