EcoAction Days at Broward County Parks

Volunteers are important to parks, especially when it comes to helping our natural areas clear out the garbage and invasive plants that continually plague our environment.  From October through May, volunteers (ages 13 and up) seek out nature at the natural areas or nature centers and get busy between 9 a.m. and noon.

Volunteers bring their own gloves, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and drinking water to tackle the weeds and trash accumulating in different areas of the county. 

Volunteers are required to closed-toe shoes. Long pants and long sleeves are suggested.  All participants must fill out a volunteer registration form prior to participating. Volunteers ages 13-17 must have parent or guardian signature on the registration form. Volunteers under age 13 may participate with parent or guardian. High school students can use these volunteer hours towards community service required hours for graduation.
