Let's make a difference together!

Our Quarry Care restoration and clean-up days make it easy for like-minded community members to get involved in beautifying and restoring The Heritage Quarries Recreation Area.

Heritage Quarries Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are the backbone of our community. As a volunteer, you have endless opportunities to make a difference, share your skills, and connect with people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

 

Friends of The Forge volunteers can participate in the restoration and beautification of the Heritage Quarries Recreation Area through park conservation and clean-up projects, trail development and maintenance, special events support, and more all year long.

A volunteer’s interests, experience, and availability will factor into the specific volunteer area where you are placed. Volunteers generally help with projects once a month for a couple of hours.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome! Children aged 14 and under require adult supervision by a parent or guardian.

Quarry Care Volunteer Workday Schedule

All workdays start at 9:00 am and end at noon. Volunteers are encouraged to participate the entire time, but we'll take all help we can get! Stay as long as you're able.
