Volunteers will take care of street trees along Smith Street in Gowanus - activities include weeding, aerating soil, and applying compost to tree beds.
Public events are open to all ages and skill levels. For group sizes of 10 and larger and corporate volunteers, we typically request a donation, since this allows us to coordinate a project best suited for your group. For more information about coordinating a volunteer experience for a large group, please contact partnerships@gowanuscanalconservancy.org
All activities are outdoors. Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes (boots preferable), clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and sunscreen/hat if needed. Bring a water bottle (we will provide water to refill your bottle).
