VOLUNTEER DAYS with THE MONARCH MILE - February 21, 2022

The Monarch Mile is an inspired all-volunteer group working directly with Burbank's Parks and Recreation Department.  The project was formed in 2019 with an eagerness to plant and maintain local native plants along the Chandler Bikeway.

Diverse volunteers of all ages, experiences, talents and interests are welcome to contact us and join the efforts.

Who can take part?

• There is no age minimum to volunteer with The Monarch Mile, though the type of work might be best suited for age 7+.
• All minors must be accompanied by an adult and need to fill out a minor release form to participate.* This form can be signed on the day of the event.
• *High school students do not need to be accompanied by an adult but must submit a release form.

On February 21, 2022, from 9:00-11:00am, we will be working on the edges of the Chandler Bike Path in Burbank at the plot between Pass Ave and Maple St. This particular Volunteer day, we plan to seed a custom Monarch Mile blend of California native wildflower seeds (thanks to the Theodore Payne Foundation) and also plant California native seedlings.
