Volunteer with Our Partners!

Our partners at Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter are seeking volunteers to help weed and prune their demonstration pollinator garden in Park City, Utah. This is a great opportunity to learn about native and waterwise plants and to benefit bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
