Do you want to join our Gateway Warriors? We have three winter volunteer workdays coming up this new year! Check out our calendar and sign up for one, or all our volunteer workdays to help us combat climate change and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces for the community.

Volunteer work can include weed removal, some digging, invasive species removal, planting, etc. We’ll have the tools needed. Registration is required and the mandatory volunteer waiver included below needs to be signed before the event. Come help us maintain the meadow, forest discovery trail, and other areas around the preserve to continue restoring natural flora and fauna habitat as well as a space for community to enjoy the outdoors.

Join Gateway Nature Preserve for a Groundhog Day–themed program focused on learning about groundhogs and the stories and myths surrounding the holiday.
While a groundhog sighting cannot be guaranteed, participants will take a short walk to explore an area where groundhogs burrow, learn about groundhog behavior, and look for signs of winter animal activity. The program will include a brief show-and-tell using groundhog handouts, as well as time to explore groundhog burrows near the pollinator garden.
Weather permitting, children will also participate in a shadow activity inspired by Groundhog Day, tracing their shadows on newsprint to take home.
This program is geared toward children ages 3–8, accompanied by an adult. Please wear warm clothing and sturdy walking shoes.
Meeting location: Gateway Pollinator Garden
1480 S. Broad St. (turn in by the bus shelter)
