Volunteers make a difference at Laurelwood Arboretum, Wayne

April is National Volunteer Month, no FOOLing.

And the volunteer season will begin at Laurelwood Arboretum in Wayne 9 a.m. Tue., April 11 at the arboretum’s pavilion.

On kickoff day, the volunteers will work until 11:30 a.m. and then enjoy refreshments and a welcome event starting at noon.
