What to expect while volunteering with Excel Events
We can accommodate volunteer groups, welcome families to a relaxed atmosphere, or just come out and volunteer reforesting, removing invasive plants, tree tending, or choose to do a trash cleanup, whatever you would like your volunteering experience to be there are many options any given day.
We will teach you about how Riparian Buffers, trees, and flood plains help lessen storm water and flooding in our community. Learn about invasive plants, and current environmental initiatives from other nonprofits, and hear about current government projects which rarely get highlighted in the news.
