About the Event

Join the Friends of Piscataquog River Park, Manchester Parks and Recreation, and the Manchester Conservation Commission for our 2025 Spring Clean-up Extravaganza! Our 3rd annual spring clean-up will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at Piscataquog River Park from 10 am to 2 pm. We are looking for volunteers to help pick up trash, do trail maintenance, and beautify the area, along with other tasks to improve the park. As part of this event, we are also partnering with The Nature Conservancy for the City Nature Challenge! From April 25 - 28, people from 700+ cities around the world are finding animals, plants, and more in their neighborhoods, and sharing their observations. All you need is a smartphone & the free iNaturalist app. While you’re volunteering, discover all kinds of wonderful species that live in Piscataquog River Park! This is a kid-friendly activity, and TNC staff will be on site to help get you started. 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! Interested in sponsoring the event? Or want to bring your team or coworkers along? Email Lauren at friendsofprp@gmail.com for more information.

What to bring

Tools, gloves, and food will be provided, but please bring a water bottle to fill at our water station, appropriate footwear and clothing to be outside and off-trail for a few hours, and sun and/or rain protection (depending on the weather).

Youth Instructions

All volunteers under 18 will need to be accompanied or have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
