I will volunteer at the National Public Lands Day event at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. This event involves repairing fences, trails, and signs in the preserve. The preserve's volunteer coordinator, Leslie Burkhardt, will coordinate the event. The reason why this project is important is that it gives me a chance to work with land that I have access to, but have not done any work to deserve access. First, I need to take to complete this project, is to receive all of the waiver and sign up forms and complete them by the twenty-sixth of September. My next step is to find a ride. I must finish this step by the twenty-sixth, to ensure that I have a way there and do not panic if it becomes too late. Third, I need to actually perform the tasks …show more content…

If asked whether or not I care about it, I will say that I do. However, I do not care about the environment as much as I probably need to. During the project, if I actually care, I will put all I have into helping. If I do not care as much as I say I do, I will be bored within the first half of the event.
In continuation with my idea about better quality structures in the preserve helping educate, these now educated people can improve my health. What this means is, if more they decide to help the environment, which is likely with better structures, then their efforts can indirectly affect me. For example, if somebody decides to become more environmentally friendly, they may reduce pollution and purify the air for breathing. Additionally, the physical labor involved with the service project will cause me to become stronger. Lifting heavy wooden bars, for example, is similar to lifting weights.
At the Big Morongo Valley Preserve, I will likely face problems, such as not being able to lift a heavy object or not being able to figure out how to use a tool. Both of these problems are certainly possible, as I have come across both in a similar project. If I run into problems such as these, I may ask for help from another volunteer. In one of these situations, that volunteer might help lift an object or explain how to use one of the tools. Another solution to this is, somebody running the event may give me a new job. There is likely multiple jobs required
