Downtown Green Team
The Downtown Green Team helps keep downtown’s public spaces spruced-up and beautiful, while helping out with various events. Consisting of community volunteers, the group assists in downtown beautification efforts and local experiences. Examples of Green Team initiatives include planting and pruning, trimming, painting, litter removal, infrastructure audits, hospitality greeters, event volunteers, and more.
Have an hour to spare here, there, and throughout the year?
