Families are encouraged to bring shovels and volunteer to plant over 60 native trees and shrubs to benefit UMLY’s Cassatt Preserve. A “Shovel Check” will be available (like a coat check!) so families do not need to carry their shovels around the festival.  Everyone will also be able to explore the YMCA’s Cassatt Preserve, meet the animals and enjoy family-friendly STEM and environmental education activities.
