Volunteer with the C&O Canal Trust in Georgetown
Join the C&O Canal Trust on October 18, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, to help preserve and protect the C&O Canal National Historical Park! Volunteers provide critical assistance in the maintenance and preservation of the park’s natural, cultural, historical, and recreational assets.
The C&O Canal follows the Potomac River for 184.5 miles between Georgetown and Cumberland and is one of the most visited national park sites in the country. The C&O Canal Trust is the park’s official nonprofit partner, committed to supporting the park and local communities through fundraising initiatives, expanding accessibility, and broadening support through programs that highlight the park’s historical, natural, and cultural heritage.
Canal Community Days is the Trust’s annual public volunteer program. Each year, we recruit and manage hundreds of volunteers to undertake a range of preservation, beautification, maintenance, and conservation projects, working closely with the National Park Service to identify priorities that can be completed by volunteers of all ages.
We hope you can make it to our Washington D.C. event at the Georgetown Visitor Center on Saturday, October 18! Spend your weekend with us in the eastern part of the park and make a difference.
