Join VetREST on Wednesday, November 11, from 1:00–3:00 p.m. for an afternoon of clean up, planting, and honoring our Veterans at the Columbia Children’s Arboretum.
Volunteers will help clean up the arboretum’s conifer garden, plant new, uncommon species, and spend time together in community to honor our Veterans. It’s a meaningful way to spend Veterans Day right here in our own neighborhood.
