Montgomery Parks is very excited to once again take part in the MLK Jr. Day of Service. We’re looking forward to another great weekend of service this winter on January 16-18, 2016.
Last year, more than 500 volunteers joined us in celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service by cleaning up our parks and streams, and by removing non-native invasive plants and saving the forest! Let’s see if we can do even more this year!
Go to http://www.montgomeryparks.org/team/mlk_jr_day.shtm to see the growing list of events where YOU can help out! Keep checking back as we get closer to the date.
