Holiday Gifts You Can DO!

Engage in mindful giving this holiday season. You can feel good about giving gifts that reflect your environmental values, while providing opportunities to DO stuff rather than GET stuff.

The people on your list will appreciate your gift when you present them with the opportunity to take a class or workshop, reap the benefits of various Metro Parks memberships, attend a special event, or shop local in one of our gift shops.
