The ICES Family Adopt-A-Garden project is an initiative sponsored by the ICES Outdoor Masters Conservation Club. ICES families, staff, and community members have the opportunity to “adopt” one of the native habitat gardens on the school campus with the primary goal to plant, maintain and restore sustainable local wildlife -- both animals and insects. Each garden has a list of specific needs ranging from the clearing of dead plants, installing new plant materials, removing debris or unwanted non-native plants, watering; and, much more! With your help, our goal is to see all of the adoptable garden areas thriving with the care and nurturing of NATIVE plant species.

VOLUNTEER TIME/DURATION COMMITMENT:
The ICES Family Adopt-A-Garden project is structured as a three-month commitment running from May through October 2021, with the option of extending into the second semester of the 2021-2022 school year. Volunteer teams will have the flexibility to work on their garden at their convenience.

UPDATE: To accommodate families who are currently on our project waitlist, as well as newly enrolled families, we are seeking ADDITIONAL volunteers to SUPPORT our current garden team members and projects. The next round of volunteer sign-ups closes on Wednesday, Aug. 11!

SIGN-UP PROCESS:
Upon completing the below form, volunteers will receive an official notification of garden availability with instructions as to the next steps. For instance, our ICES Planting Garden Advisory Team members have provided insight and feedback to Mr. Catt, ICES Outdoor Masters Conservation Club Advisor, regarding appropriate plant materials, care, and maintenance specific to each garden. This information will be shared with volunteers to provide some extra guidance and direction.

TOOLS + MISC. RESOURCES:
Gardening tools and trash bags will be readily available on-site as needed. Or, volunteer team members may certainly bring their own. All volunteers are asked to provide their own gloves due to COVID-19 safety protocol.

Further requests will be put on a waitlist in case a family's commitment changes or needs adjusted.
