This program is part of our Stretch Our Parks initiative, in partnership with the staff of Alexandria Recreation, Parks and Culture.

Please join us for a service project in Monticello Park to help with habitat restoration and trail maintenance. This park is very well attended among birders - so let's pitch in to help keep this park in good shape!

Please dress in layers, wear solid footwear and bring work gloves if you have them.

About Monticello Park: Among local birders, this 15-acre park is renowned for its great diversity of migrating warblers; nearly all eastern species have occurred here. The park’s creek is a focus for migrant activity, which is significant throughout the day. A steep canyon and creek and the prominent features of the site. This site was designated a Community Forest. Visit mpnature.com to learn more about the bird species that depend on this crucial migration stop-over.
