Earth Day at Newlin Grist Mill

Newlin Grist Mill 219 Cheyney Road, Glen Mills, United States

Help celebrate nature and protect the environment with our Earth Day volunteer event! Each year, we bring together diverse volunteers from the community, including individuals, families, scout troops, and youth groups, to work on projects that improve habitat for wildlife, protect important natural resources, and preserve the park’s plant and animal communities. Past projects have included planting trees, installing bird boxes, and stream cleanups. We will meet to plant trees, remove invasive plant species, repair trails, and improve habitat for wetland wildlife. Groups will be scheduled for 3 hour shifts (9am-12pm or 1-4pm). Register for a shift by emailing jshahan@newlingristmill.org.

Love Your Park Week

This spring, show your favorite neighborhood park some love! Love Your Park Week is a nine-day celebration of Philadelphia’s public parks from May 10-18, 2025. In partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy, Park Friends groups across the city are hosting events & volunteer cleanups for Love Your Park Week 2025. Over 100 Philly parks need volunteers to help with tending gardens and flower beds, caring for trees, and cleaning up our parks to prepare for the busy spring and summer seasons.
