Vancouver, WA 98661

Advance registration is required and space is limited. RSVP today!

Join the City of Vancouver’s Volunteer Programs staff and volunteers for an Adopt-A-Park event at Wintler Park. We will be removing ivy and other non-native plants from the trees as well as cleaning up litter from the beach.

Training, gloves, tools, water, and snacks will be provided. This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens! Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. We will meet at the entrance to the park near the restrooms and parking lot. Youth under 18 must bring a signed minor consent form. Pets are not allowed, but service animals are welcome.

Accessibility is important to us and we’ve taken it into account while planning this event. The location of this work is not wheelchair accessible. The beach and park are typically quiet, but planes fly over frequently and there are many pedestrians and cyclists on the paths nearby. For invasive removal projects, volunteers may be kneeling, pulling, and twisting as well as possibly lifting plants overhead to load into a dumpster. There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to find a volunteer role that will work for you.

(Registration will close two days prior to the event at 2 p.m. If registration is closed and you are still interested in attending, please email cityvolunteer@cityofvancouver.us to let us know you will be a walk-up and you can sign in on-site.)
