Through a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service, the Accokeek Foundation stewards 200 acres of Piscataway Park. Grounds Crew volunteers will assist staff with the day-to-day maintenance of the park and its facilities. Volunteers will take pride in ensuring that our visitors will have a safe experience here at Piscataway Park as they engage with the grounds, structures, shorelines, and trails.

Description of Duties:

Responsibilities may include:

  • Ground maintenance such as mowing, weed whacking, mulching, and cleanup
  • Trail maintenance
  • Building upkeep such as cleaning, painting, and general repairs
  • Fence building and repairs
  • Site prep for public and private events
All skill levels and experience accepted, as a variety of projects will be involved. No previous experience is necessary, but volunteers should be comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Some lifting may be required. Experience with machinery, lawn care, structure repair, small engine care, and organization is a plus.
