Volunteer for Earth Day at Mass Audubon

As part of a month-long celebration of Earth Day 2008, Mass Audubon is hosting Work for Wildlife, its 2nd Annual Statewide Volunteer Day, on Saturday, April 26, 2008, from 9 a.m. to noon. Here’s a general description, taken from Mass Audubon’s website:

“Have fun while lending a helping hand at one of your favorite wildlife sanctuaries around the state. Join us for our 2nd Annual Statewide Volunteer Day as we spruce up our trails and gardens, put on a fresh coat of paint, and dive into other spring cleaning projects. There are activities for all ages and abilities. Bring your friends and family and a picnic lunch, and stay to enjoy the sanctuary (and fun activities) after the work is done.”

On Cape Cod and the Islands, you can volunteer at these Mass Audubon sanctuaries:

•  Long Pasture, Barnstable, where opportunities include Operation Culvert, Bird and Butterfly Garden, and Night Heron Pond Enhancement
