Weeding - Tuesday evenings (4-7 p.m.) and Saturday mornings (9 a.m. to noon) in April and May beginning April 16. On Tuesdays, meet at the Waterfall and on Saturdays meet at the Warming House.

• Adopt an area of the park and rid it of garlic mustard weed

If you enjoy the outdoors, don't mind getting a little dirty, and would like to do something that allows you to talk with other volunteers while you're working, then Lake Park Friends Weed Outs might be a good volunteer fit for you.
