Volunteer Program
Volunteers allow us to have a greater impact on improving our parks as we work alongside individuals and corporate groups in maintaining key landscapes, through activities such as restoring trails, installing plantings and removing invasive species. There are a variety of ways to get involved, from open volunteer days where individuals can participate in one event or join us each month, to our Corporate Stewardship Program, which offers customizable, hands-on experiences for corporate groups, to our Volunteer Leadership program, which takes passionate and engaged park champions and gives them additional opportunities and training to become leaders and advocates for our public spaces.
Since the launch of the Fair Play Campaign in 2021:
4,400 volunteers
1,358 trees and shrubs planted
1,246 bags of trash removed
“It’s easy to complain about a problem. It’s easy to know about a problem. But it’s harder to fix it. The environment is one thing we have to fix before we address other issues. … it makes me feel better knowing I can make some type of contribution and impact.”
