  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Restoration at Work
Loading removed invasive blackberry into truck to be taken to compost.

FLSSP is happy to host private volunteering events for your community or corporate group looking to have a fun team-building experience and give back to the community. We provide tools, gloves and a project, as well as a volunteer or staff lead to help guide the work. We can easily accommodate groups of 20-25; please contact our Executive Director at director@flssp.org to arrange for a larger group project. We encourage our volunteers to "be safe, have fun, and get some work done," and past participants have enjoyed seeing the results of their labor at the park, whether it be a litter-free beach or picnic area, a weeded and mulched garden bed, a wall of blackberry removed, or new plants in the ground. Please complete this form to start the scheduling process.
