Fall Volunteer Events

Join us at these Upcoming Volunteer Events:

Get out and enjoy your parks this fall by volunteering in Montgomery Parks! We have lots of ways for you to get outside and to give back by volunteering in the Parks!

Many of these opportunities take place during these community service efforts: Day to Serve, National Public Lands Day, and MoCo Community Service Month.

Trail Workdays

Volunteer Trail Workday projects are a great way to support one of Montgomery Parks most popular facilities. By participating in a volunteer group trail maintenance or construction project you will be helping improve the natural surface trail network for all to enjoy!

The minimum age to volunteer is 15 years old, however 13 & 14 years old may volunteer if an adult participates with them. All volunteer trail workdays are SSL approved.

Here are just some of the upcoming project dates and locations, more will be added as we get further into the season:

10/13 Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park, Silver Spring
