The deadline for project applications
is Friday, June 26.

teers, hand out supplies and give a safe-
ty talk.

parks, beaches, waterways and neigh-
borhoods by picking up trash, pulling
invasive plants, planting native trees

teers came out to over 110 project sites
across the state to remove 34 tons of lit-
ter and marine debris, plant 286 trees
and shrubs, and clear 6 acres of inva-
sive plants.
Volunteer leaders receive assistance
for their local SOLVE projects, includ-
ing project planning support and train-
ing, event flyers and pre-event publici-
