Volunteer with Us!

Whether you have lots of experience or you’re just curious to learn, there’s a place for everyone at the Roxborough Manayunk Conservancy. Each week, we meet at a different partner site to work on a variety of hands-on projects—like ecological restoration, cleanups, trail maintenance, and more.

Two-on-Tuesday Evening Sessions

Volunteers meet at a different park each week to remove invasive plants, repair trails, pick up litter, and help beautify our green spaces—then stay for food and drinks with fellow volunteers! All experience levels welcome. Tools and guidance provided—bring gloves if you have them.
