Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for the park email list on the civic association's park updates page, then come to the monthly Woodland cleanup on the second Sunday, 10 am to noon..

You can just show up.

What to expect

A cleanup runs two hours on the second Sunday of the month, at the Woodland, and the page describes it as cleanup and restoration work. The page does not list the tasks or what to bring. The civic association's monthly meeting is on the third Thursday, 7 to 8 pm, at Pilgrim Church, and the page does not say whether non-members can attend.

Tips for your first visit

  • The page calls the cleanup place 'the Woodland,' not the park, so confirm the meeting spot by email first.
  • Sign up for the email list to get reminders about cleanup days.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The park updates page gives a fixed monthly time and place for cleanups and does not say membership is needed to volunteer..
