Stewardship Saturday at Charlestown Navy Yard
Join other park stewards to help us get our tools into fighting shape for future work on the islands!
Come join park biologists and volunteer stewards for Stewardship Saturday. Help us maintain our hand tools for future work on the islands. We will clean, sharpen, and workshop the tools that are vital to our ecological restoration work throughout the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park – no prior experience necessary! We will demonstrate how to maintain each tool.
