It takes a lot of work to keep National Mall and Memorial Parks looking its best! And we want to make sure we do just that - so that the millions of visitors that come to the National Mall will treat it with respect. But we need your help!
Volunteers are vital to maintaining the park. Duties may include landscape work, minor tree pruning, gardening, staining park benches, painting, and general clean-up of the park.
This activity is available for groups of 10 to 100 volunteers that are looking for short term volunteer projects, ways to give back to the community, ways to get your corporation involved, etc. Volunteers can also receive community service hour credit for their volunteer time.
Volunteers will be provided with all tools and leadership from park staff. Come and get your hands dirty while helping to keep the park looking good and safe for visitors.

Description
The Washington that you see today had its birth two centuries ago in a rational yet visionary design unprecedented in its scale. Pierre Charles L'Enfant's plan for the city and its core mall area was influenced by urban planning then current in Euproe and neoclassical landscape design exemplified by Versalles. Brilliantly adapting those ideas to Washington's terrain, L'Enfant placed the Capitol on Jenkins Hill and the "Presidents House" on a lower terrace then overlooking the Potomac River. Between them ran Pennsylvania Avenue, to symbolize the spearate but connected branches of government. The spirit of that plan lives in the city still.
