BE W.I.L.D – Do what you can

We Can All Do Our Part Through Volunteer & Stewardship

We can all do our part through volunteering and stewardship. If we can give a little time and effort to our community spaces, they will remain places of refuge and rejuvenation now and for years to come. Find opportunities to volunteer on our stewardship page.

What is Stewardship?

Stewardship means caring for the places we share. It’s about volunteering your time and energy to support and protect your community, especially the public lands that make Salt Lake City such a special place to live. Being a steward helps you build a deeper connection to where you live, while also making a lasting impact.

How Can I Be a Steward in My Community?

Anyone can be a steward and it’s easier than you might think.

Start by looking for opportunities to donate your time to causes that align with your values, especially those that focus on environmental health, community well-being, and preserving natural spaces.

How Can I Get Involved?

It’s simple! Visit our stewardship page to find a list of upcoming events. We host a variety of stewardship opportunities each month, so whether you love to dig in the dirt or help remove litter there’s something for you.

What Kind of Help is Needed?

Stewardship events often include:

• Ground preparation and planting
• Invasive weed removal
• Trail and park clean-ups
• Trash and debris collection and more!

No experience is required, just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to help. Every action, big or small, contributes to healthier, more vibrant public spaces.

Why Stewardship Matters in Salt Lake City

As Salt Lake City grows, so does the importance of preserving our natural landscapes and ensuring everyone has access to clean, welcoming green spaces. The Department of Public Lands is committed to balancing urban growth with the preservation of natural areas.

When you volunteer as a steward, you’re not just helping clean up a park you’re investing in your community. We need your help to make a difference. Sign up to volunteer today!
