The Bucks County Department of Parks and Recreation announces the launch of the Bucks County Parks Volunteer Alliance, a new county-wide volunteer program dedicated to bettering the County’s parks system for the benefit of all residents and visitors.
The program provides opportunities for volunteers to spend time in and around nature while helping to sustain and improve treasured community assets.
“We have a wonderful, dedicated parks and maintenance staff who do an excellent job caring for these properties, but a job this big takes a village,” said Colleen Kenny, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation. Kenny noted the County is home to the third largest county park system in the state.

Volunteer opportunities are available at all parks across the County’s 9,000-acre parks system, and are inclusive of all skill levels and abilities.
Opportunities include habitat restoration and tree planting, litter pickup, environmental education, animal caretaking, historic site tour guides, nature center greeting and more.
The program is hosting events throughout the month of July as part of its launch.
