Parks volunteer programs return in March

COLUMBIA, MO (March 1, 2016) - The City of Columbia has two programs in March that provide residents knowledge about our natural resources and provide hands-on service projects in our parks.

The Columbia Aquatic Restoration Project (CARP) class will be held on Tuesday evenings - March 15 & 22, 6-9 p.m. CARP teaches participants about aquatic ecology and vegetation management. Volunteers work on projects along streams, ponds and rain gardens in our parks on weekend mornings.

The 2016 TreeKeepers program will be a one-day academy format on Saturday, March 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. During the TreeKeepers Academy, volunteers will learn about tree identification, pruning and planting and commit to assisting on tree projects in our parks on Saturday mornings.

Both programs will be held at the Parks Management Center, 1507 Business Loop 70 West.  To learn more or register, contact Volunteer Programs at 874-7499 or volunteer at GoColumbiaMo.com.
