Penn State Extension will offer a pollinator and water conservation planting volunteer opportunity on Saturday, April 30, to help support the Derry Environmental Action Committee and its partners in expanding and improving their pollinator and water conservation area in Hershey. The event will take place at the Derry Conservation Area, Cocoa Avenue, Hershey, from 9 a.m. to noon.

This former agricultural land has been in transition to native meadow and riparian buffer for over five years. The committee needs more help to continue this project in the Spring Creek Watershed. Volunteers will focus more on rehabilitating the previous years' plantings and help to remove invasive weeds.

There is no charge to participate, but registration is required by Thursday, April 28. To register, visit https://extension.psu.edu and search for "Pollinator and Water Conservation Planting."
