Conservancy Volunteers get work done! Our volunteers are at the forefront of ecological stewardship along the banks of the Charles River - arguably Greater Boston’s most prominent and important public parklands. With over 20 miles of public land needing the efforts of civic-minded individuals, corporations, groups, and schools there is always a call for volunteers – just like you!
Upcoming Open Volunteer Events
- Saturday, April 20th 9am-12pm. 14th Annual Charles River Earth Day Cleanup. Sites are closed for groups, but volunteers still needed for drop-in location in Cambridge. Wear clothes that you can get dirty and please bring your own water! Please RSVP to Danielle Stehlik, Volunteer Coordinator, at dms@thecharles.org
- Sunday, May 12th 9am-12pm. Are you a part of an alumni group here in the Greater Boston area? This volunteer event is specifically geared toward alumni groups for a day of volunteering in the parklands! To sign up your group (and show off your alma mater pride), please email Danielle at dms@thecharles.org.
