Volunteer with The Resilient Activist at Pilgrim Center's Habitat Restoration Nature Connected Event 🌻

Date: Saturday, September 27, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Location: Hyde Park, Habitat Restoration Planting Areas

3807 Gillham Rd, Kansas City, MO 64111

Join us for a rewarding volunteer opportunity at the Pilgrim Center’s Habitat Restoration project in Hyde Park! We are looking for passionate volunteers to help enhance the diversity and density of our shady planting areas, contributing to a thriving, vibrant garden that benefits local wildlife and the community.

What to Expect:
We’ll kick things off with a tour of the established planting areas, where the Pilgrim Center's Executive Director, Amelia McDaniels, will guide us through the history, successes, and challenges of the project. You'll get to see firsthand the impact of this ongoing restoration effort and how vital community participation is in creating lasting change.

After the tour, you’ll have the chance to choose from a variety of tasks, including:

Drilling holes for planting
Popping plants out of trays and installing them in the soil
Mulching to help protect new plants
Watering to give them the best start

Together, we’ll install 100+ plants, making a significant impact in a short time. The saying “many hands make light work” has never been truer, and your participation will help us move closer to a garden filled with diverse plant life and buzzing with pollinators.

Wrap-Up and Reflection:
At the end of the event, we’ll take a peaceful walk through the labyrinth, allowing us to reflect on the day’s work and the positive changes we’re making. The fruits of our labor—colorful blooms, fluttering butterflies, and a healthy ecosystem—will soon become a reality with your help!

Why Volunteer with Us?
Volunteering with The Resilient Activist at this Habitat Restoration event is an opportunity to connect with nature, support environmental restoration, and be part of a community committed to making a positive impact. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a first-time volunteer, this is a great way to contribute to local conservation efforts while gaining hands-on experience in habitat restoration.

We hope you’ll join us for this fun, fulfilling morning of work and reflection. Together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient environment for everyone!
