A citywide week of park cleanups each spring and a volunteer weekend each fall. Smaller work days are listed on the events page, often on Saturday mornings.
We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.
Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Choose a work day from the events list at loveyourpark.org. Where the listing says to register, use its Learn More link. Individuals can also ask for a solo cleanup kit..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Work days usually run about two hours, such as 10 am to noon. Volunteers pick up trash, clear trails, weed, mulch and restore native plants. Tools and gloves are provided at some sites, and both individuals and groups can take part.
Tips for your first visit
- Bring your own water bottle, since the site asks volunteers to bring one.
- Some listings give only a park name, so allow time to find the meeting spot before the work day starts.
- Some events are cancelled in heavy rain, thunder or severe weather, so check the listing before you go.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Anyone can take part, and each work day lists a time and meeting spot, but some listings need registration first..
