Fall Work Day 2024!
Join the Friends of Piscataquog River Park and Manchester Parks and Recreation for our 2024 Fall Work Day! Our event will take place on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 10 am to 1 pm. We are looking for volunteers to help with light trail work, vegetation removal, and picking up trash, along with other tasks to improve the park.
Coffee and snacks will be provided in the morning, along with lunch after the work day. This is a free event and a small training will be provided at the beginning. We encourage you to invite your family and friends, but please leave your furry friends at home since we’ll be using sharp tools. We will also be working off-trail and on uneven terrain, which may be difficult for those with mobility or balance issues.
Come help us improve the park and make it a place for all to enjoy!
What to bring
Tools, gloves, and food will be provided, but please bring: – a water bottle – appropriate footwear and clothing to be outside and off-trail for a few hours – sun and/or rain protection (depending on the weather)
Youth Instructions
All volunteers under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
