Join Us for National Public Lands Day, Friday, September 26!

The National Parks of Philadelphia are excited to participate in National Public Lands Day 2025 with a special project aimed at enhancing the health and beauty of the trees in Washington Square Park. Volunteers will work alongside NPS staff to expand tree rings and fill them with mulch.

Interested in volunteering? Register and complete the necessary paperwork on Voluteer.gov. Detailed instructions will be sent to all registered participants. As a thank you, participants will receive a "fee-free" coupon valid at any NPS park with an entrance fee, courtesy of the National Environmental Education Foundation, along with a small token of appreciation from Independence National Historical Park.

Advanced registration is required.
