We always welcome volunteers at Forest Park Conservancy - you are critical to our work restoring Forest Park's 5,000+ acres and maintaining and improving the 70+ mile trail system.

Most of our opportunities are outside, in the field, doing trail maintenance and/or habitat restoration. If you would prefer to help us out in the office, please contact Lisa Hillerns.

Ongoing Opportunities:

Forest Park Conservancy has long had an active crew of volunteers working the trails of Forest Park. In 2007, we started a new tradition of offering regular events for members, Forest Park users, and other community members who are interested in stewardship of Forest Park.

What: Join Jeff Hough, our Trails & Restoration manager for a morning of stewardship projects in Forest Park. At times, you may be clearing down wood, restoring washed out trails, planting native shrubs, building a bridge, pulling ivy, planting trees or perhaps just walking and pruning. No previous experience required - we provide all tools and materials.
