Earthcorps - Great Work and Great Choices

So much to do and so little time. But fortunately Earthcorps is there to muster help and muscle from all over the region and the world. They have the expertise, energy and training to help your community deal with projects to restore the natural environment.


Earthcorps has already done some cool work here in Shoreline at Cromwell Park, RB Saltwater Park and Paramount Park (steps).

EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, water, light refreshments and a talk that covers safety, the park you are working in, forest structure, environmental restoration and the overview of the project. We suggest that volunteers dress in layers of older clothes that include long pants, long sleeve shirt and a jacket. Durable footwear such as work boots, hiking boots or running shoes are recommended for these events. These events take place rain or shine so please come prepared for the weather. Bring a lunch if you would like as well as a water bottle and a coffee cup/travel mug for refreshments.
