It Takes SWEAT to Maintain Warner Parks’ Trails

Work, Learn, Earn—Team Members Trade SWEAT for Environmental Education.

SWEAT members make improvements to Warner Parks’ hiking trails, organic gardens, footbridges, landscaping, and facilities. In return, they gain valuable knowledge and team-building experience in organic gardening methods, trail maintenance techniques, use of landscaping tools, the natural history of native plants and animals, impact of invasive species, and natural area management.
