& Feed the Zoo Animals
Join Trees Forever and our partners for UPCYCLE Stewards, an exciting classroom and hands-on training workshop focused on identifying and removing invasive plants. Staff from Blank Park Zoo will talk about how the plants are "upcycled" into food and fun for the zoo animals. There will be a hands-on component to the class and future volunteer opportunities will be offered to attendees. Your help is needed to remove these backyard and forest invaders!
