Mercer Pollinator Festival

NOTE: The Heartwood Booth has been cancelled. Volunteers are still needed for the Education Booth for Mercer (see below).
Volunteers are needed at an Education Booth for Mercer. Tasks that would qualify for TMN volunteer include talking to patrons about pollinators, pollinator friendly plants, pollinator scavenger hunts for kids, and handing out 1,000 native trees + instructions on how to grow them, answering questions and sparking interest in the natural world. We will have live butterflies, caterpillars, and host plants at the table.
Volunteering is either from 7:30 a.m. – 12 noon or 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.. A free lunch is provided for those who volunteer all day at the Mercer booth!
