At volunteer sweeps, a small group of volunteers (typically five to 15) better the health of the park by cutting vines, pulling invasive plants, and clearing trash. Projects vary by season. Tools, gloves and training are provided.
Please note: these volunteer days meet at the entrance of Falls Ravine Trail, located near the new Frick Environmental Center.
