Environmental Fun Fair: Event Cleanup

It's time for our annual Environmental Fun Fair, a free fun morning full of hands-on activities centered around nature, recreation, and science. This is an inclusive event appropriate for all ages and abilities. Last year we had several hundred attendees; this year we are looking for volunteers to help with a variety of roles to make this day a huge success!

Role Description:

Event cleanup volunteers will help with a variety of tasks including (but not limited to) picking up and putting away the things that were setup at the beginning of the event: parking barricades and cones, chairs and pop-up tents, and moving picnic tables at least 20 yards. ***Note: these picnic tables are pretty heavy (but can be moved with two people). ***

*Volunteers must be 16 or older to fill this role.

How to Prepare: 

What to Bring:

• Bring a water bottle (a filling station is available inside the building).
• Snacks if you need them.
• Anything else you need to be comfortable for this 1 hour shift.

What to Wear: 

• Wear clothing appropriate for the weather as your shift will be outside. 
• A hat and sunscreen is recommended. 
• Wear appropriate, closed-toe shoes.  

Accessibility: 

• There will be bathroom access and a water fountain.
• Volunteers will have access to an air-conditioned building in case a cooling-off break is needed.
• Our department is committed to providing meaningful access to our programs and resources to all individuals, regardless of primary language or ability. If you need language assistance services or an accessibility modification for this program, including reserving our all-terrain wheelchair, please submit this request form a minimum of 10 business days before the event to make the request. Please note, it is not possible for all activities to be modified.
