Join the Spring Cleaning Effort in Fairfax County Parks This April

Volunteers cleaning watershedIt’s spring cleaning time again and the Fairfax County Park Authority and dozens of volunteers of all ages throughout the county are rolling up their sleeves to spruce up public parks across the county as art of our annual Watershed Cleanup Days in conjunction with the Nature Conservancy.

Spring cleaning in the parks isn't just about picking up trash—it's a chance for individuals, families, and groups to make a meaningful impact while earning service hours, fostering team building and showing appreciation for our environment.

Cleanups have been scheduled at various locations throughout the county and offer a diverse array of activities to be involved in. From collecting and bagging trash to tackling other projects, volunteers will have the chance to contribute to the beautification and preservation of our natural spaces.
