ECO: Build and Beautify

Build and Beautify is a day for volunteers to get involved with the development of Solana Center's home base, and support their programs from the ground up!

In joining us for this activity, you will help beautify our grounds, creating a space for engaging our community in our sustainable offerings. Activities vary each month and may include some of the following:

• Gardening and pruning
• Staging rain barrels
• Maintaining and building demonstration sites that help teach topics in sustainability
• Chipping and moving mulch
• Beautifying our grounds

Keeping the Solana Center's grounds functioning and looking good helps them engage their visitors with sustainability education and is vital to their ability to impact the community.
