Hurricane Ian USF Botanical Garden Clean-Up Volunteering

Volunteered at the University of South Florida's Botanical Garden for Hurricane Ian clean-up. I remove branches from the butterfly habitat section and displaced caterpillars away from the fence. Gloves were worn for precaution of plant residue during the branch removal process. During the volunteer experience, I worked together and teamed up with five USF students.
