A volunteer opportunity to clean up Howard County
Event Info
Dates: 4/14-18/2025
About: Alternative Spring Break is an annual volunteer event hosted by Howard EcoWorks. It runs during Howard County Public School Systems scheduled Spring Break, and offers a chance for students and adults to engage in public service.
​
Activities range from trash and debris clean up, invasive vine and plant removal, and forest management. Locations are areas that Howard EcoWorks has partnered with and identified a critical need for clean up. This is a great opportunity to gain volunteer hours, experience with environmental stewardship, and help your local community. We do not recommend bringing children under age 8 for these activities.
