It's a fun way to get outdoors, get some exercise and help a great cause! If possible, bring loppers, handsaws, weedeaters, heavy rakes, work gloves, etc. Watch here for dates and details.

Chris has been on The Today Show, NPR, in Newsweek and many other media outlets to promote his experience living without a car.
