Volunteering Opportunity: Assist with setting up the tea lights on the trails prior to the sun setting.  Meet at Aldo Leopold Nature Center at 2pm.  The paths like to get light it up with lots of lights so we could use some help setting them up.  Then we could use volunteer help with clean-up or picking up the lights at 7pm.  If you can come early or stay late to help, please email John at: Jweichelt@cityofmadison.com
