Join us for two online Zoom workshops led by fantastic MyRWA staff and volunteers. Learn the basics of birding and tree identification (bark!) , then raise a glass to Mother Earth with us. We will also announce how much trash was removed from the watershed—and who picked up the most—during the #MysticTrashTag challenge. The link to join will be sent to everyone who registers:
