Restore Our Parks

The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy relies heavily on volunteers to accomplish our work in the parks, particularly our ecological restoration initiatives. We accomplish volunteer projects in several ways:

• Volunteer work days, where individuals can sign up to work on a one-time project in the parks
• Corporate and community work days, where organizations work with us to plan a project for a group
• The Urban EcoSteward program, where individuals sign up to receive training and perform long-term maintenance on a designated area of parkland

In 2008, volunteers contributed 4,300 hours to the care of our parks. Join the effort—explore our volunteer opportunities and sign up to be notified of upcoming projects!
