Urban greening training, free for volunteers and teachers

Common Good City Farm and the RiverSmart Schools Program are
recruiting interested and committed volunteers and teachers to join
the RiverSmart Volunteer Maintenance Program.

If you're interested in improving your urban greening skills or in
hands-on gardening opportunities in your community, this is the
perfect program for you.

Sign-up to be a RiverSmart Volunteer, get matched with a RiverSmart
school and teacher, and receive a free 16-hour hands-on training in
urban greening and gardening skills.

Volunteers are asked to contribute three-four hours a month, for a year, at a RiverSmart
School, helping with establishing gardens and other schoolyard
greening projects.
The training, Urban Schoolyard Greening, will be
held November 12th 4-8pm, 14th, 9-5pm and 17th 4-8pm.
