Preserve Your Park Program

The Preserve Your Park Program entered the spotlight in March 2000. The premise is the "adoption" of a small, manageable slice of park by volunteers. Side benefits include learning more about plants, animals and ecology plus proper techniques for environmental restoration. Come meet neighbors and fellow volunteers who share a common bond. A healthy park for all to enjoy.

As a participant in the program, we ask you to follow these simple, yet important guidelines:
  • Participate for a minimum of one year
  • Volunteer at least three times in one year
  • Have adequate adult supervision for volunteers under 18 years old
  • Notify the Park's volunteer coordinator at least two weeks in advance of each scheduled work day
  • Focus on tasks and priorities specified by the Fairmount Park Commission
  • Be willing to work with other people
Join us. Fill out a Preserve Your Park form. You'll be in good company.
