Join Wildlands Trust stewardship staff for this exciting community stewardship project at the Old Colony History Museum in Taunton. We are partnering with the museum to create a new vision for the grounds around the museum, including native and historical gardens. We’re offering 4 shifts for volunteers to help us with planting: 8:30am-11:30am and 12:00pm-3:00pm on both Wednesday, October 14th and Thursday, October 15th. We’re looking for up to 6 volunteers to help with each shift—please register below for the shift you plan to attend.

Work will include digging and planting over 1,000 small plants and plugs in the gardens.
