Parks Volunteer Program: Community Work Parties

Get outside, meet good people, and help care for Bellingham’s parks!
The Bellingham Parks Volunteer Program helps our community to restore and protect Bellingham’s parks, trails, and open spaces.
Our hands-on environmental stewardship activities include planting native trees and shrubs, removing invasive species, spreading mulch, picking up litter, and more.
No previous experience necessary to participate. All ages are welcome! We provide gloves, tools, snacks, and guidance. See below for a schedule and a link to register for our volunteer work parties.
Join us in a park near you most Saturdays! Work parties are 9 a.m. to noon unless noted otherwise.
