(WEYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS) The New England Wildlife Center is looking for volunteers to help them get ready for their upcoming Halloween event. For the first time since Covid, NEWC's annual Night of a Thousand Faces is coming back this October. But, in order to prepare for the spooky event, they need your help!

About NEWC's Volunteer Trail Clean-Up Event

New England Wildlife Center has posted on Facebook with a request to help them prepare for their upcoming October pumpkin event. NEWC's Night of a Thousand Faces features 1,000 carved and lit up pumpkins along their nature trail. They are searching for volunteers to help them clean up the trail involved.

We look forward to our first year hosting Night of a Thousand Faces after taking a break during COVID and would love some help clearing the trails! - New England Wildlife Center Facebook

The trail clean-up event will take place on Thursday, September 14th at 1 pm. Refreshments will be provided for the volunteers. However, they ask that you bring your own bug spray. They have also asked for help providing rakes and hedge trimmers.
