Partners for Beautification
Volunteer to Help Keep Richmond Clean, Green and Beautiful
Richmond is known for its parks, trails, waterfronts and vibrant public spaces. The Partners for Beautification program gives residents, schools, businesses and community groups opportunities to help care for Richmond’s parks and natural areas through environmental stewardship and community volunteer projects.
Whether you are interested in litter clean-ups, gardening, trail stewardship or invasive plant removal, your efforts help support cleaner neighbourhoods, healthier ecosystems and more welcoming public spaces throughout Richmond.
Available Volunteer Projects

Help keep Richmond’s boulevards, sidewalks, cul-de-sacs, and storefront areas clean and litter-free. Some streets may be restricted due to safety concerns.
