Do your part to protect our watershed and natural habitats by celebrating the UN’s International Day of Forests with NAP. The United Nation’s Department of Economic and Social Affairs reports, “it is estimated that 75% of the world’s accessible freshwater comes from forested watersheds and 80% of all land-based species depend on forests for their habitat. When forests are healthy, they can act as protective buffers against the impacts of storms and other natural hazards.”

Meet in the Grace Bible Church additional parking lot at 1300 South Maple Rd, 1/3 mile south of West Liberty. Volunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs. Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail. Preregister through VolunteerHub so NAP can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. More information: How to prepare for a NAP workday (PDF).
