This year's Earth Day Weekend work day with EBRPD will be Sunday, April 21, from 10 to noon. We'll meet in the flat, grassy field on the southern half of the park, between Hoffman Channel and the Bay Trail loop/USPS distribution center. (Same location as last year. If you park near Mudpuppy's, walk toward the bridge. If you park in the Rydin Road parking lot, walk toward Mudpuppy's.)

This year we'll be adding dirt around the young trees and filling in holes to reduce tripping hazards and improve the appearance of the park.

Bring your own water, plus a shovel and work gloves if you have them. Volunteer for 15 minutes or the whole two hours. Join us!
