Community Volunteer Day

Join us for one last community volunteer day this year on Saturday, November 18th, from 10am-noon.  

We have two projects in mind for that day, depending on how many volunteers we get. The first is planting several hundred bulbs (thank you May in Montclair!) at various spots throughout the park.  

The second project is to continue clearing out brush and weeds from around the old pond side and then to extend our weed control efforts in that area, with an eye for planting in the Spring.  

Participate in all or part of the event. Sign up for this event by emailing us at volunteer@brookdalepark.org. We look forward to seeing you!

Our focus is on projects that restore and enhance Brookdale Park's Olmsted Brothers' Master Plan while keeping the community’s needs and sustainability top of mind. We are an all-volunteer group supported by donations.
