Park and Garden Work Days

Ward Acres Conservancy is seeking volunteers to help with pulling, digging, and cutting invasive plants around the park to make room for beneficial native plants that provide nectar, pollen, and berries for pollinators like Monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, and songbirds. Volunteers can also assist with litter and debris cleanup.

• No special skills are needed
• Wear long pants, sturdy shoes, and gloves
• Tools will be provided but volunteers should bring their own pruning shears and loppers if they have them
• Bring water in a reusable bottle

Note that there are no restrooms in the park. In the event of rain, the date will be canceled and volunteers should sign up for a future month. Sign up for one or more shifts below!
