Join us this Earth Day, April 22, 2025, for a one-day volunteer opportunity to help older adults in need with spring yard cleanup - including raking, weeding, trimming, and more!

In partnership with the Township of West Orange, our nonprofit I Want To Mow Your Lawn - which provides free landscaping support to older adults, veterans, and others in need - is organizing this special Earth Day event. We're calling on volunteers to lend a hand beautifying and clearing outdoor spaces for senior residents in the community.

We'll provide:

Rakes, garbage bags, garden gloves (if needed), string trimmers, and other basic equipment
Soft beverages and snacks to keep you fueled throughout the day

Bonus: If you can bring your own equipment (trimmers, mowers), that's always welcome!

Details:

Meet-up Location: West Orange Town Hall Parking Lot, 66 Main Street, West Orange, NJ
Time: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Rain Date: April 30, 2025

What to Bring:

Closed-toed shoes, long sleeves/pants (recommended)
Gardening gloves (if you have them)
A positive attitude - and readiness to get a little dirty!

We’ll group up in the morning and then head out to homes in clusters for yard work. It’s a great way to give back, get outside, and make a real impact.

Please sign up here to volunteer and be part of something meaningful this Earth Day!

Individuals and groups are welcome to participate. Please note: Media coverage may be present at this event, with permission-based participation only for any photos or interviews.

City Nature Challenge is a free four-day event where communities across the world collaborate to see which city can gather the greatest number of wildlife observations, find the most species and engage the most people in nature connection.

Explore nature from wherever you are in the GTA by finding wild species close to home. Even watching birds from your window is helpful!

Record observations by taking a picture or recording a sound of what you find on a smart phone or camera and upload it to your iNaturalist account using the phone app or you personal PC. Observations submitted to iNaturalist between April 25 - 28 will be included in the challenge.

Each record of a plant or animal submitted helps scientists track and understand local biodiversity around the world.
