NABA Butterfly Survey – Sunday, July 21st
Want to learn more about butterflies and spend a day collecting data for scientists? Join us for our annual “4th of July” North American Butterfly Association Butterfly Survey. Participate in an international effort to understand these vibrant fluttery and delicate critters better. You’ll be teamed up in groups led by an expert. Beginners are welcome.
Adopt a stream – Broad Run
We proudly support the adopt-a-stream program by being good stewards of a reach at Cedar Run, which flows through Merrimac Farm WMA.
Volunteers will participate in the annual clean-up and submit a report to Prince William Soil and Water District.
Tabling
Do you love our work and want to help us reach more people? Join our tabling team of dedicated volunteers who attend events in the community.
Tasks include helping us sign up for community events, setting up our table with materials and fun visuals, helping to design engaging materials, talking to event participants about us and our work, and helping us follow up with interested individuals.
We will provide onboarding and training and all the materials you need.
Wildlife garden
Are you passionate about the great outdoors? Do you have a soft spot for wildlife and want to make a meaningful impact on their habitat? If so, we invite you to be a part of our dedicated team of volunteers at Merrimac Farm Wildlife Management Area’s enchanting wildlife garden!
Each year we manage the wildlife garden for creatures great and small so they can find nesting sites, food, and places to rest and hide among a wealth of Virginia’s native plants. We’re looking for volunteers who would like to join us most Saturdays around 9 am to noonish. That way you really get to know the garden and the people that care for it – the garden flourishes because of this connection and partnership.
