FEATURE: Adopt-A-Park was a Success!

This year's more than 300 volunteers joined us in the parks Saturday, April 26th to make an impact for Earth Day


- Volunteers removed invasive species by the truckloads across our MetroParks.


- Volunteers helped us protect the black-crowned night heron habitat at Island MetroParks by maintaining tree cages, removing invasive species, and picking up litter. 


- Volunteers painted fence posts and gardened at the Carriage Hill Riding Center.


- Volunteers spread mulch to protect our lovely gardens across our MetroParks. 


- Volunteers put in the heavy work clearing tree grates and removing leaf debris downtown at RiverScape MetroPark.


- Volunteers of all ages helped our staff maintain our gardens, removing weeds to prepare the beds for new growth. 


- Volunteers picked up litter in our parks, along our riverways, and in their own neighborhoods with our Adopt-A-Park Service Kits! And Volunteers did so much more!
