Volunteers Needed
Help with the LRNow Fall Festival, October 12th
Our Fall Fest beach party will feature eco-friendly craft vendors, fun and educational environmental displays, a children's treasure hunt and other beach games, a seafood market and delicious locally-sourced food. You will also have the opportunity to explore Lynnhaven wetlands during a guided walk.
In order for all of this to happen, we need help from lots of volunteers. The event would not be possible without the help of all of you. As an extra token of our appreciation, each volunteer will receive a free LRNow Volunteer T-shirt the day of the event.
We need volunteers in many different roles and several different time slots. To see the various opportunities and sign up to help, follow this link to Sign-up Genius. Thanks for your help!

The first fall nor'easter signals the beginning of the annual bird migration down the coast. Hawks and songbirds fly from the Eastern Shore and often feed and rest at First Landing State Park and Pleasure House Point before continuing their journey.
