Spring Spruce Up

April 11 @ 6:00 pm - April 12 @ 8:00 pm

Spring Spruce Up is an annual, community-wide day of service dedicated to enhancing Moab’s trails, trailheads, parks, and recreational areas. The event brings together local organizations and volunteers who work alongside project leaders on a variety of service projects throughout the community.

Spring Spruce Up unites volunteers to tackle issues such as trail erosion, maintenance, invasive weed removal, fence building, and trailhead cleanups, among other essential projects aimed at improving our recreational areas.

FRIDAY 4/11 – Project Registration and Dinner
6pm – 8pm – Join us at the Moab Arts Recreation Center (the MARC) to learn about all the service projects, meet project leaders, and sign up for the service project you would like to participate in.

SATURDAY 4/12 – Work Day!
8am – 9am – Volunteers will meet at the MARC for coffee, pastries and a bit of socializing with other volunteers and project leaders. Sandwich supplies and snacks will be provided for volunteers to make a sack lunch before heading out for the work day.
9am – At 9 am, you will either board your shuttle van, carpool, or walk/bike to your project site.
Around 3 pm – The shuttle vans will retrieve volunteers from out-of-town projects and return them to the MARC. Volunteers are welcome to head home after this.
