Highway Clean-Up 2019

  • Helen Schuler Nature Centre (map)

Join us to help Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society to clean up Alberta Highways and support our group in positioning our Nature Centre as one of the best in the world!

This will be our first ever Highway Cleanup! This is a great opportunity to make a difference to our local natural environment while raising funds in support of our mission and vision. This event will help to cover our annual operational costs - including insurance, venue rentals, office supplies, website subscription, and other costs associated with our Society.

Help us recruit for this important fundraising event! Share the opportunity with friends and family.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Volunteers clean the highway and Alberta Transportation donates to our organization!
