Second Saturdays

Join us for an open volunteer workday on the second Saturday of every month to restore Philadelphia's natural areas. Workdays rotate to a different park every month and offer hands-on experiences with ecological restoration projects around the city.

Second Saturday volunteers plant and care for trees, remove invasive plants, keep our waterways clean, and have a special opportunity to learn about the City's ongoing efforts to restore Philadelphia's natural areas. Spend time outdoors with us, as we explore and help preserve Philadelphia's natural lands!

No experience necessary. All are welcome. Come and learn with us.
