Volunteer at Macdonald Park

  • Macdonald Park 4253 Mystic Valley Parkway Medford, MA, 02155 United States (map)

Join us for this land-based stewardship activity at Macdonald Park. We will be tackling garlic mustard, an invasive plant that crowds out and chemically inhibits the growth of other plant species. Gloves and bags will be provided. Please bring sunscreen and water and wear closed-toe shoes.

Event will happen rain or shine, but we will cancel in case of extreme heat, heavy rain, and/or thunder. 

*Pre-registration required. We have limited event capacity — so please only register if you will make it that day.

Location Details: A port-a-potty, water, and cell service are available. We will meet next to the parking lot.

Activity Details: We will walk along paved paths to pre-determined areas of the park. To reach the garlic mustard, volunteers will need to go off path and onto occasionally uneven ground by trees and bushes. Volunteers will handpull the garlic mustard and collect it in trash bags for disposal.
