 Get Involved
The Wissahickon Valley needs your help if it is to remain a place of wildness and beauty for generations to come.
Each year, hundreds of volunteers, including individuals, families, groups, organizations and schools, invest thousands of hours of sweat equity in the Park.
Under the direction of FOW Volunteer Coordinator Kevin Groves and FOW crew leaders, and in partnership with Fairmount Park Volunteer Coordinator David Bower, these volunteers plant trees; remove vines; eliminate exotic invasive plants and replace them with native species; clean up trash and debris; remove graffiti; rebuild trails; control erosion; repair and restore structures; manage wildlife, serve on committees; engage in outreach activities; and assist with various projects.
Volunteers are needed for field work on weekend and weekdays. Volunteers interested in helping restore structures, repair stone work and rebuild trails are needed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. See
Calendar for a list of regularly scheduled volunteer events. Click here to learn more about other Volunteer Projects. Volunteers are also needed for committee work.
And no skills are needed. Just bring your enthusiasm and interest and the FOW will provide you with leadership, tools and instruction.
