Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) will host Parks Beautification Month this April, inviting the community to take part in a series of volunteer opportunities focused on caring for and enhancing local parks.
“Parks Beautification Month is a time for our community to come together and show appreciation for the spaces we share,” said Abby Wallace, CCPR Volunteer Coordinator. “Through hands-on projects like removing invasive species, picking up litter and planting trees, volunteers help make a lasting impact while supporting the health and sustainability of our parks.”
Community members of all ages are encouraged to participate in Parks Beautification Month activities. Volunteers ages 16 or younger must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is required for each project. Participants can create a CCPR volunteer account online to get started.
