Volunteer tasks may include removing invasive plants, seeding native plants, caring for orchards and stone walls, maintaining trails, removing trash, raking leaves, sweeping, or pulling weeds from the landscape, while learning about the Park's history and ecology from cultural and natural resource team leaders. Our goals for Park Day projects are to improve biodiversity in the park's forested areas and to help prepare the landscape for when the Minute Man Visitor Center opens in May.
