Projects – painting and graffiti removal

These volunteers usually work on Tuesdays painting structures and cleaning graffiti off rocks, walls, and other structures. Anne Hickman has been leader of the paint crew and Sam Beard the graffiti-removal crew; however, Anne resigned in March 2022 due to other commitments, and we have an opening for a volunteer to assume her leadership role. Please use the form below if you wish to volunteer.

Safety is paramount. Crew members wear personal protective equipment appropriate to the task at hand (gloves, eye protection, etc.).

Sam or another crew member prepares a detailed report after each activity. These reports, which are available here, are the best means of learning about the crew’s activities.
