Rain Garden Development: As part of our participation in the NJDOE Climate Literacy for Community Resilience grant program, HVRSD is working with The Watershed Institute to install native plant rain gardens at all six Hopewell Schools in April 2026. They are looking for junior and senior student volunteers to help prepare the rain garden sites. Please use the registration link to sign up ASAP.
About Volunteering with FOPOS: Volunteers will perform ecological restoration work, including removing invasive species and freeing trees from vines. The dense cover formed by invasive plants degrades habitat quality and prevents young tree saplings from growing into future canopy trees. We will be using pruners, loppers, and hand saws to cut back invasive shrubs and vines. Dress warmly for working outdoors. Volunteers will learn land stewardship skills, including identifying invasive species and using tools safely. We can provide confirmation of community service hours.
