Join Fairmount Park Conservancy in celebrating Earth Day with a volunteer workday at the Lemon Hill gateway in East Fairmount Park on Wednesday, April 22, from 1:00 – 4:00 PM.

Lemon Hill is the historic birthplace of Fairmount Park, and this summer, it will make history again as the host of Philadelphia’s FIFA Fan Festival.

With Fairmount Park on the world stage this summer, Fairmount Park Conservancy and Comcast NBCUniversal are teaming up with local volunteers this spring to host a series of cleanups at the park’s entryway near Boathouse Row. Volunteers will help to remove invasive plants, add flowering shrubs, and prepare this space to welcome thousands of visitors from all over the world.

Volunteer projects include:

• Removing invasive species (primary project)
• Trash pick-up
• Watering

 
Fairmount Park Conservancy’s expert staff will provide tools, gloves, and guidance; no experience needed. Just bring your enthusiasm, Philly pride, and love for parks!

This event is part of the Lemon Hill Spring Cleanup Series presented by Comcast NBCUniversal.
