Litter Cleanup

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

Wilmington State Parks welcomes volunteers who are interested in helping to keep our parks free of litter.

The Wilmington State Parks maintenance team does an excellent job every day picking up litter in our parks. Weather events and other circumstances can lead to a need for additional help to address litter, however.

We are thankful for the countless volunteers who have helped to keep our parks — Brandywine, Rockford, H. Fletcher Brown, and Happy Valley parks, along with Kentmere Parkway — clean and accessible.

Note: Volunteers must report safety concerns, including suspicious (e.g., someone’s belongings) or dangerous litter (e.g., sharp edges or points) to park staff.

The park does not proceed with outdoor group service events if conditions are deemed unsafe; otherwise, whether to proceed is at the group’s discretion.
