Volunteers Sought To Help Maintain Hill Park In Marietta

MARIETTA, GA — Marietta Tree Keepers invites volunteers of all ages to help maintain Hill Park on Saturday, May 7 at 8:30am. Tools and refreshments provided.

Hill Park is a pocket park that was transformed from a once vacant lot just a few blocks off the northeast corner of Historic Marietta Square. The park was dedicated to the memory of Willie Hill, deacon of Zion Baptist Church. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Rho Zeta Omega Chapter and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Omicron Mu Lambda Chapter will also be volunteering alongside of Marietta Tree Keepers for this event.

Volunteers are asked to arrive at 8:30 a.m. to enjoy donuts and beverages before digging in to work. All ages are welcome to the family-friendly event. Dress appropriately for the weather.

Tools will be provided, although volunteers are welcome to bring their outdoor gloves and tools if they like. Large groups should contact the group with the number of volunteers that will be in attendance.
