Join park staff and volunteers for National Public Lands Day on Saturday, September 24, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., for a garbage cleanup of the historic Friendship Hill estate. National Public Lands Day is a day of community service across the country. For Friendship Hill National Historic Site’s service project, cleanup crews will focus on the sections adjoining Route 166 through the park, park roads, and 10 miles of hiking trails.
The park will provide work gloves, garbage pickers, garbage bags, and high visibility vests. Volunteers are encouraged to dress for the weather, wear long pants and sturdy shoes, and bring insect repellant. Interested volunteers should sign up through Volunteer.gov.
