Lend a hand at this monthly event with rotating outdoor tasks.

Learn to patch old clothes and keep them out of landfills.

3. Junior Naturalist: Salamanders | 10 a.m.

Kindergartners-5th graders are invited to learn about different salamanders at Raven Run (and in Kentucky).

4. Nature Cleanups

Join Live Green Lex at Wolf Run (12-4 p.m.) or Jacobson Lake (5 p.m.) to keep our parks clean.

5. Hot Chocolate Bike Ride | 5:30 p.m.
