“Our volunteers are so integral in supporting MetroParks to protect the region’s natural heritage,” said human resources and volunteer manager Jenny Hymans. “Make a Difference Day is a great way to spend a fall morning outdoors giving back to nature.”

Registration is required. Volunteers can sign up online by visiting https://www.metroparks.org/make-difference-day/. The deadline to register is Oct. 21.

Volunteers should dress for the weather. Supplies will be provided depending on the project, but volunteers may want to bring gloves and a refillable water bottle.
