GreenTouch Day

Be a GreenTouch Day volunteer and help take care of a park for a day! 

Nothing builds a stronger connection to the environment than getting out in nature to lend a helping hand through volunteering. GreenTouch Day on the first Saturday in May, is a perfect opportunity.

What? GreenTouch Day is a statewide partnership between Minnesota's Touchstone Energy® Cooperatives and Minnesota State Parks and Trails. Electric cooperative employees, members, and area residents pitch in to take care of a Minnesota state park.

When? Each year on the first Saturday in May.

Why? Consider the day "spring cleaning" for Minnesota state parks...once a year, they need some TLC. Need another reason? It's fun! You'll enjoy nature, meet new people, and support a great cause.

What will I do? Projects may involve:

• planting trees and wildflowers
• removing unwanted plants such as invasive species
• picking up litter
• raking
• odd jobs such as painting

You'll feel good about your contribution at the end of the day, knowing you've done something good to help an important cause. Please contact your sponsoring coop to let them know you'll be coming!
