We need your help to preserve and restore Philadelphia’s open spaces. That’s why we’re excited to partner with Fairmount Park Conservancy on a new monthly volunteer series.

On the second Saturday of every month, you can give back to your community while exploring the hidden trails, forests, and historical gems of Philadelphia’s park system. Volunteer activities include:

• Planting trees
• Removing invasive plants
• Cleaning waterways

Projects will rotate around the city, from the woods of the Wissahickon Valley, to the lakes of FDR Park, and every green space in between. Each volunteer event runs from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Projects are led by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy staff. We bring the tools, gloves, and expertise– you bring the energy!
