Join Us in Protecting Wilmington State Parks!
Wilmington State Parks is seeking dedicated volunteers to help combat the spread of invasive plants and protect our local ecosystems. Invasive species threaten the health of our parks by outcompeting native plants, disrupting habitats, and diminishing biodiversity. With your help, we can restore balance and preserve these natural spaces for future generations.
Tackling invasive plants requires a coordinated, hands-on effort, and growing public awareness makes this an exciting time to get involved.
No experience? No problem! Whether you're passionate about conservation or simply curious to learn more, we welcome all volunteers who want to make a tangible impact. Join us for a rewarding experience in nature, connect with like-minded individuals, and be part of the solution.
