    • Yale Day of Service: CA, San Francisco - With Honey in the Heart

      May 11, 2024
      10 am to 1 pm
      With Honey in the Heart
      Add to Calendar 2024-05-11T00:00:00 2024-05-11T00:00:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: CA, San Francisco - With Honey in the Heart With Honey in the Heart focuses on connecting people to their surrounding environment, educating about the benefits of pollinators, creating healthy habitat for all pollinators and elevating the status of bees as the divine beings that they are and their crucial role in pollination and our well being through policy and advocacy. With Honey in the Heart worked with the community and stakeholders to create a beautiful, drought tolerant pollinator garden in the first block of Dolores at Market Street in San Francisco. Widespread, careless use of pesticides in both urban and agricultural habitats have created an environment less hospitable to pollinators. They committed to combat these harsh conditions with carefully selected low water, pesticide-free, pollinator friendly plants that will bloom in an unbroken relay all year long. Vivid California Poppies, Sages, spiky Spider Aloe, and other bright, drought tolerant, and pollinator friendly plants can create a much needed habitat for our bees and pollinators. Come help maintain, clean, and plant the Dolores Pollinator Boulevard. No experience or special skills needed. With Honey in the Heart — 2001 Market Street true

      Add to Calendar 2024-05-11T00:00:00 2024-05-11T00:00:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: MI, Ann Arbor - Eco-Restoration Workday Yale Day of Service joins the Cal Alumni Club of SE Michigan (Motor City Bears) for an environmental restoration project to meet and reconnect with alumni who share our commitment to giving back. Families with children are welcome! Volunteers will pull non-native plants from the ground by hand to make room for a thriving ecosystem. There will be an orientation, training, snack break, and the morning will conclude with an educational nature walk. Further background: Migratory birds depend on insects for energy during the breeding season and on their long journeys. Natural areas that migratory birds have depended on for mid-journey food are being transformed into agriculture, housing developments, and even parking lots. This #MigratoryBirdDay, we can help give migratory birds a chance to complete their cross-continent expedition by supporting insect habitat. Logistics: Meet at the parking lot off Dixboro Rd. (additional parking on Church St, across Dixboro). Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. Please preregister through the VolunteerHub link so that our partner, Natural Area Preservation, can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event! Marshall Nature Area — 3355 N.
