Meeting place
Check in for Park Day Volunteers will be open from 8:30am – 9:00am at the front walk to the main house at Historic Endview. Please arrive during this timeframe to ensure a smooth check-in process. At Check-In you will be able to sign up for your specific volunteer assignment and will also be able to sign up for a specific time to go on a House Tour, free of charge for any Park Day Volunteer (non-Park Day Volunteers must pay the normal admission fees).
Planned Activities
Volunteers will be able to help clear the Historic Endview Nature Trail, as well as help to pick up trash around Historic Endview’s property.
History or Educational Activities
At 12:15pm a Historian will present a 15-minute talk to Volunteers about Historic Endview, to allow volunteers an opportunity to learn more about the land and house’s history. Park Day volunteers will also be able to sign up for a specific time to go on a tour of the main house, free of charge.
Should I bring any tools or supplies?
It would be appreciated if Park Day volunteers can please bring working gloves, PPE gloves, rakes, and any other supplies that may help with trail and woodland area clean-up and for picking up trash (if volunteers have access to these items already). Please ensure that anything personal that is being used is clearly marked. We will have some supplies, but not enough for everyone, so any help with bringing, and using, personal supplies will be appreciated!
Is there a rain date?
In the instance of inclement weather, Park Day will be cancelled.
