The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) invites you to attend DCR’s 8th Annual Park Serve Day, Saturday April 26, 2014 at parks across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Online registration is now open for those who wish to register prior to the event.

With the help of volunteers, DCR will spruce up park facilities, clean coastlines, clean and maintain trails, plant flowers, and more! These valuable resources belong to all of us, and we can all take pride in them.

Since it began, tens of thousands of Massachusetts residents have picked a park, given a day, and made a difference as we prepare our state parks for the summer recreation season. We hope to see you on April 26 for what will surely be a wonderful day.
