  • Earth Day at Newlin Grist Mill

    Newlin Grist Mill 219 Cheyney Road, Glen Mills, United States

    Help celebrate nature and protect the environment with our Earth Day volunteer event! Each year, we bring together diverse volunteers from the community, including individuals, families, scout troops, and youth groups, to work on projects that improve habitat for wildlife, protect important natural resources, and preserve the park’s plant and animal communities. Past projects have included planting trees, installing bird boxes, and stream cleanups. We will meet to plant trees, remove invasive plant species, repair trails, and improve habitat for wetland wildlife. Groups will be scheduled for 3 hour shifts (9am-12pm or 1-4pm). Register for a shift by emailing jshahan@newlingristmill.org.
