Earth Day Celebration • Register • View Cart •

Join us to volunteer in the Saco Community and celebrate Earth Day! We are looking for volunteers who would like to clean up and prepare the local parks for spring and summer. Duties include trash pick-up, weeding, mulching, raking, etc. This event is (light) rain or shine!

We are looking for volunteers to help at our local parks, schools, and green spaces this spring! Volunteers will choose their preferred park below (spaces are limited per location based on anticipated projects available). Participants will meet at the Saco Community Center in the morning for t-shirt pick-up, breakfast refreshments & coffee, a group photo, and welcome note! Please bring simple tools like rakes and gloves if you have them!

**ALL Volunteer t-shirts have been accounted for as of 3/5/25.**

The first 100 volunteers who register by March 28th at noon will receive a free event t-shirt! This year we are doing a green, long-sleeved shirt! Limited quantities available so please sign up early for this option.
