- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Join Manassas NBP staff and volunteers for the American Battlefield Trust's Annual Park Day on Henry Hill, site of the final fighting of both First and Second Manassas. This year, projects will focus on Henry Hill in advance of the 160th anniversary of the Patriot's Monument which was dedicated in June of 1865. This monument was one of the first erected on a Civil War battlefield following the end of the war, and park staff are planning two events in May and June to mark this anniversary.
On April 26th, we are looking for volunteers who will assist us with beautification and clean-up projects at the battlefield including:
- Tree Planting.
- Fenceline Clean-up.
- General Trail/Wayside Clean-up.
Volunteers will work on smaller crews led by park staff and volunteers which will head out onto Henry Hill at 9:00 a.m. and return around 1:00 p.m. Please be there to check in between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. to finish paperwork, receive instructions, and borrow safety equipment if needed. We will ask you for your preference of project and do our best to accommodate it. Please make sure to wear sturdy shoes, carry water, and wear sunscreen and tick repellant. If you would like to bring work gloves, please do. We will also have gloves for anyone that needs them.
