Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River - Volunteer Workgroup: Neighborhood Wildlife Garden / 4-15-26
Back in 2017, dedicated crews of volunteer native gardeners turned a barren, vacant lot in downtown Millville into a thriving wildlife oasis—marking CU Maurice River's first urban greening and beautification project. Since then this space has become a stopover for many pollinators and backyard bird species. It also serves the downtown community as a place close to home where neighbors can observe nature and deepen their appreciation for the outdoors.
Now, CU Maurice River is headed back to Third Street for spring cleaning. Grab your work gloves and trowels and join Karla to help tidy up before the garden comes alive this season. Volunteers will be cutting and removing stems and laying down a fresh layer of wood chips on the paths to get the space ready for spring.
Wear clothes that are appropriate for gardening activities. We'll provide tools, but if you have a favorite gardening implement please bring it. We recommend bringing water and sunscreen. Insect repellent is also a good idea.
