Urban EcoStewards Orientation: Frick Park

Looking to make a difference and learn more about your local ecosystem? Join UpstreamPgh at our first Urban EcoSteward event of the year! 

This event is encouraged (but not required) for new and existing volunteers who are looking to get involved with the Urban EcoStewards program in 2024. As an Urban EcoSteward in Frick Park, you’ll remove invasive plants, plant native species, pick up trash, and conduct other gardening tasks while connecting with your community and watershed. And you’ll play a role in one of the largest urban stream restoration projects in the country!

Urban EcoStewards can join us on work days throughout the year or consider adopting a plot to work independently and on your own schedule.

No gardening experience is required. Plan to get a little messy and dress accordingly. Closed-toe shoes required, water-resistant or waterproof shoes recommended. Gloves, bags, and tools will be provided.

This is a volunteer event and attendance is free, however we ask that all participants register below.
