Help keep Arts Fest beautiful and have fun along the way! 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄: https://forms.gle/Dq6far3fHRrV96dv7

We will work together as a group and make our way all throughout Arts Fest, making sure that the many trash and recycling cans get emptied and are available for the many attendees. Not only is this a unique way to see Arts Fest, it’s also a great way to see all of the effort and appreciation that goes into creating and running such a large event. We will also be making a well-timed pit stop at Zeno’s or A’s Pub halfway through our shift for some much deserved refreshment. Additionally, if you cannot commit to the entire 3 hours but still want to help out, just let us know.

The walk offers an opportunity to connect with nature, ask questions, and observe the details that make each tree species unique.

The approximately 0.5-mile walk will take place on asphalt and/or gentle paths. Restrooms nearby. Please wear comfortable shoes.
