The Canyon Catalysts are a volunteer group and therefore ask that those wishing to volunteer provide their own supplies. These may include: gardening gloves, gardening equipment, buckets, wheelbarrows or similar items.
For painting projects the City will supply paint, paintbrushes and other necessary supplies.
For trash pickup, safety vests, garbage grabbers, vinyl gloves, and garbage bags are available to check out. Please remember to return vests and garbage grabbers when done. Bags of garbage may be disposed of in the trash container at City Hall.
Specific projects will be posted as they are organized and scheduled. To be sure that you don't miss out on any opportunity, please reach out to the Contact Person for the Canyon Catalysts and request to be added to their email group.
