​​Help the Environment by Volunteering

​Clear Natural Areas of Garbage and Invasive Plants
​​​Volunteers are important to parks, especially when it comes to helping our nature centers, natural areas and other parks clear out the trash and invasive plants that continually plague our environment. EcoAction Days are volunteer workdays scheduled throughout our system, October-May.
