Volunteer with TEAL
The Environmental Action Lab is dedicated to reconnecting people to their environment, educators, environmentalists and community activists. We provide communities the resources to engage with the natural world in a sustainable and ecologically conscious way. Our events are designed to educate, learn through field work, stewardship and service learning, and to bring people together to take action for the environment. Join us in our upcoming events and be a part of the movement for positive environmental change!
Every second Saturday of the month
We will be focusing on picking trash out of the City Line Brook that runs behind the plaza, helping to restore the health and beauty of this important waterway and green space.

Join TEAL and FAHNN for monthly clean ups during the Valley Plaza Summer Market—a vibrant community space providing fresh, local food and a strong sense of connection in the Valley neighborhood. Since 2022, FAHNN’s markets have been transforming food access in the Valley—an area without a grocery store since 2018. The Summer Market, held every Saturday of the week, brings fresh produce, baked goods, and local vendors together in a spirit of wellness and community.
