SERVICE OPPORTUNITY - Storm Drain Marking - May 13

Calendar Happens On May 13, 2026

Description

Gain service hours towards a club, school requirement, or to boost a college application while practicing stewardship! This single-day service opportunity program is geared towards middle-high school aged students looking to get involved in their community and environment, but absolutely open to all!

Storm Drain Marking involves walking and/or driving to a secondary location and gluing a small placard to the storm drains in the area. During Storm Drain Marking, we will be using an app called Quick Capture to log the drains we mark.​ Volunteers will meet the Nature Educator at Stevens Creek Nature Center to gather supplies. Transportation to the marking site (5 min drive) will be provided, or you can elect to drive yourself after meeting at the nature center.

Project location: Elibren Lane and/or Clear Creek Farm Road, Matthews, 28227

Please dress appropriately for the weather as we will be spending 2 hours outside - be sure to wear closed toe shoes, comfortable for walking, please no sandals or flip-flops. Bring your own water bottle and snacks.
