Fishers Park and Rain Garden Steward Program
The City of Fishers launched two volunteer steward programs to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community’s natural resources. Fishers Park Stewards can select a park to volunteer at for trash cleanup, trail maintenance, invasive species removal, and vandalism or park damage reporting. Rain Garden Stewards help maintain an adopted rain garden by removing trash, pulling invasive species, and reporting damage or vandalism. Park and Rain Garden Stewards are required to perform park maintenance at least once per month for a year. Learn more and sign up at fishers.in.us/Sustainability.
