We rely on volunteers year-round for planting, restoration, trail care, & community engagement, with winter and spring being especially active seasons.
Volunteering at Lakeside’s River Park Conservancy is an opportunity to care for the river, strengthen local habitat, and support a healthier environment for our community.
We welcome individuals, families, service organizations, employee groups, and community service volunteers. Whether you join us for a one-time day of service or ongoing support, indoors or outdoors, your time truly makes a difference.
