Site Work Day

Saturday, November 11th
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Volunteer at The Woodlands, today and everyday. Join volunteers to plant spring blooming bulbs around the grounds and other outdoor site clean up chores as needed in anticipation of the Winter season.

What you’ll need: Your own work gloves and water (remember to stay hydrated!)

What The Woodlands will provide: Larger tools, guidance, and a full to-do list 

Rather work on your own schedule? Here are jobs you can do on your own throughout the week: 

  • Pick up trash and deposit it in our dumpster (located in the carriage yard, next to the stable)

  • Pick up sticks from throughout the cemetery and pile them along the roads.


KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

  • Audience: Woodlands enthusiasts willing to bend, lift, carry, etc.

  • What to Bring: bring your own work gloves and water.

  • Accessibility: Check out our Accessibility Information for details on entering the cemetery, navigating the landscape, restrooms, building access, and more.

  • Directions: The Woodlands is located at 4000 Woodland Avenue, directly across from the 40th Street Trolley Portal. Plant to meet at the Hamilton Mansion.

  • Parking: Please consider walking, biking, or taking public transit. Parking is available on the paved roads. Please park against the curb, leaving enough room for another vehicle to pass by.

  • Rain Date: In the event of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled. Please plan to join us for our next Site Work Day on Saturday, November 11th.

  • Rules & Safety: In order for The Woodlands’ gates to continue to be opened daily, the site’s rules and safety guidelines must be followed at all times.
