Make plans to attend our annual celebration of the planet on Saturday April 18. Embrace the spirit of spring through self-care activities, educational experiences, and sustainable practices at RESTORE.

Whether you volunteer at Bernheim on your own or with a group, you can make a difference in your community. A variety of opportunities are available including trail work, gardening, or helping in the gift shop or during special events. Learn about volunteering at Bernheim.

Bernheim recognizes individuals and organizations making a tangible impact against climate change. This year’s climate hero will be recognized at Restore on April 18, 2026.

Did you know trees help fight climate change? Through photosynthesis, trees convert carbon dioxide and water into  oxygen. Trees also provide habitat for diverse wildlife. Free native tree seedlings will be given away at RESTORE on Saturday, April 18.

Bernheim implements strategies to achieve net zero carbon emissions by its centennial in 2029.
