Building & Grounds
It takes lots of work to keep our buildings and our grounds in shape. The Trustees hold 2 workdays a year for group maintenance, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t work going on all year long.
We have a dedicated team of volunteers
that come once a week to clean the Sanctuary, cut the grass, pull the weeds, water the gardens.
There is always something that needs to be done around our property, if you would like to help, or if you see something that needs to be done, feel free to let someone know you can take care of it.
