Join us for a monthly Volunteer Workday at Elver Park and help care for one of Madison’s largest and most beloved parks. These family friendly work days are designed to welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities. Depending on the season, projects may include removing litter, cutting invasive species, collecting native seeds, or assisting with other land stewardship efforts. Each month offers a hands-on opportunity to support the long-term term health and beauty of this important community park.
