The club hosts various events during the school year, providing opportunities for you to volunteer in restoration projects and build new skills through learning and sharing. We are an active club that likes to spend time outdoors together and connect without community through stewardship.

  • Supporting the campus restoration and garden projects through attending events and participating in regular maitenance and monitoring.
