Measure AA Partners: The Wonders of Water at Cooley Landing
Join Us at Cooley Landing for a Day of Fun, Fellowship, and Environmental Stewardship!
Saint Mark AME Zion Church is proud to partner with Anamatangi Polynesian Voices and El Comité de Vecinos de EPA for a special volunteer day at Cooley Landing! We invite you to roll up your sleeves for a joyful morning of restoring our beautiful marsh habitat—no experience necessary!
🌱 What to Expect:
We’ll start the day with light refreshments provided by one of our partner organizations before heading out to water native plants in the park’s restoration areas. Volunteers will work in flat terrain and may need to bend over or carry buckets of water for extended periods—great for those who enjoy active service!
Along the way, express your creativity at our watercolor art station, and cap off the morning with a refreshing water gun fight—fun for the whole family!
📍Meeting Location:
We will gather at the Cooley Landing Education Center (end of Bay Road). Bathrooms, cell service, Wi-Fi, and water fountains are available on-site.
