Join Emory Cares - Gainesville and the Alachua Conservation Trust as an event volunteer with Cycling for Our Springs, which raises funds to help protect local springs and conserve surrounding lands. The ride goes from near downtown Gainesville, down the Hawthorne Trail to Prairie Creek Preserve and back. Volunteers will help direct cyclists along the route, hand out water and snacks, and assist with set-up for the event afterparty. Bring a water bottle, put on some sunscreen and wear a hat! After the ride, volunteers are welcome to attend the afterparty featuring live music and an artisan market.
