Volunteer
Showing up matters more than dues. A few hours, a few times a year, can shape the future of Arlington’s natural environment.
Come as you are
This is what a work day looks like
No experience needed, no minimum commitment. Our crews are neighbors of every age — students, retirees, families, and the occasional very good dog. Pick the location and kind of work below that fits you at any park with a Friends of the Park group.
Email us with the kind of work that fits your schedule. Your note goes straight to the board, and we’ll connect you with the right effort.
Wildscape work days
Help maintain native-plant habitat at the Molly Hollar Wildscape. Mulching, weeding, planting, trail care. Tools provided; bring water and gloves.
Cleanups & litter
Join park and creek cleanups — pulling trash and especially plastic out of the spaces wildlife and neighbors share.
Pollinator gardens
Plant and tend native and pollinator beds — monarch waystations, butterfly and bee habitat — at parks and partner sites.
Plant & mulch
Help plant trees and natives, spread mulch, and care for paths and young plantings on seasonal work days.
