Tree Care and Planting at Bagby Elementary School (Medium Intensity)

Volunteers will work together with OCF AmeriCorps members to perform tasks around Bagby Elementary School . This is a moderate-high intensity event.

No experience necessary, just a willingness to work with others while enjoying the outside. Great opportunity to gain hands-on nursery and landscape experience while supporting a good cause!
