Do you enjoy working outside? Come join us on September 26th to celebrate National Public Lands Day -- an event that honors our public lands through conservation volunteers (like you!) who help restore and improve our parks' health. No prior experience or skills are necessary for this event!


Rock Creek Park is a nearly 1,800-acre park located in northwest DC, providing a natural escape from the urban city surrounding it. We will be focusing in the area around Picnic Grove 6, working to remove invasive plant species. 


What to Bring: Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes (sneakers or boots are recommended). Tools and gloves will be provided on site, however, please make sure to bring your own water!


If you are under 18 or bringing someone who is, please reach out to site contact ahead of time.
