Description

Celebrate Earth Month with a day of service at Broad Meadow Brook!

Spend your morning helping to remove Garlic Mustard, a fast-growing invasive plant, as part of Mass Audubon’s Statewide Volunteer Day. We will be pulling and removing the garlic mustard by hand and bagging it for disposal. Volunteers will spread out along the All Persons Trail and Frog Pond trail, a maximum distance of 0.5 miles from the Visitor Center one-way. Work gloves and trash bags will be provided.

  • Bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated; we’ll have light snacks ready to keep you energized.

  • This project is family-friendly – we'll have options for volunteers of all ages. Anyone younger than 18 will need to volunteer alongside a parent/guardian.

How to Register

To sign up to volunteer, click the “Respond” button. You can then sign in using your existing volunteer account with Mass Audubon, or, if this is your first time using the volunteer system, you will be prompted to create a new account before signing up. Make sure to click the Submit Opportunity Response button on the next page and look for the green banner – and an email - indicating you have completed the whole process.

Families or small groups can sign up by clicking “Respond as Group.” Only one person in the group will need to create a volunteer account: you will then create a name for the group, click the “Add Me” button to add yourself to the group, and use the “Add Volunteer” button to enter the first and last names of each additional group member. Finally, designate yourself as the group leader (look for the checkbox) and click Finish. Look for the green banner – and an email – indicating you have completed the whole process.
