About
Thank you for your interest in the 2019 Athens MLK Day of Service! Below you will find details about the Day of Service and this specific project.
Event Schedule
Kick-off Celebration: 8:30AM - 9:30AM at the Cedar Shoals High School gymnasium (1300 Cedar Shoals Drive).
Volunteer Shift: 10:00AM - 1:00PM at Beech Haven (2390 West Broad St.).
Volunteers will aid in the ongoing restoration of the Beech Haven Tract, a 100 acre plot of land that has been largely undisturbed since 1911. Specifically for MLK Day of Service, volunteers will be partaking in planting 400 trees and 700 grass plugs as well as the removal of invasive plants.
Children under 18 should be registered by their parent/guardian. All volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
We are not able to accommodate large group registrations. If you have a group that would like to volunteer at the same site, each individual must separately register through Engage Georgia.
