Volunteer for Cleanups / Work Parties
Work parties are held on the last Saturday of every month from April through October to ensure that the existing structures are maintained and kept free of weeds, brush and other debris.
We often work under the direction and guidance of the Allegheny County Park Rangers.
NOTE: No work should be conducted in these locations outside the scheduled work party dates in order to protect the delicate ecological balance of these areas and to adhere to Park guidelines per the Allegheny County Park Rangers.
If you are interested in donating even an hour of your time for a great cause, please contact Anne for details.
There is no heavy labor involved. We use hand tools, hedge clippers, and pruning shears.
