I got a chance to join more than 1000 volunteers on Hands On Bay Area’s Be The Change Day. There were 22 projects to choose from and I was lucky enough to do invasive plant removal at the San Francisco Zoo.

I stayed away from the Tiger cages, wielding a rake just in case. I was in high demand for my wheelbarrowing skills as we transferred ice plant into a huge compost dumpster. There were a lot of cool people and if you’re in the bay area and want to volunteer, you should definitely check out HOBA’s programs.
