Community Stewardship

Caring for the places you love

Anchorage’s parks, trails, and green spaces belong to all of us. Community stewardship brings people together to care for and improve these places through hands-on projects, volunteer opportunities, and community-led improvements.

Get Your Hands Dirty

Plant Trees

Help grow Anchorage’s urban forest by planting native trees in parks, along streams, at schools, and in community spaces.

Care for Parks & Trails

Join community projects that improve neighborhood parks and trails. From maintaining community gardens to trail improvements and other hands-on projects, there are many ways to help care for the places that connect us to nature and each other.

Remove Invasive Plants

Protect Anchorage’s native plants and wildlife by helping identify and remove invasive species from our parks and green spaces.

Why Stewardship Matters

Caring for parks is about more than keeping them looking good. Healthy green spaces provide habitat for wildlife, protect salmon streams, improve air quality, and create places where people can connect with nature and each other.

When communities care for their parks and trails, they help make Anchorage a healthier, more connected place for everyone.

Take Action

There are simple ways every resident and trail users can help care for Anchorage’s parks, trails, and green spaces.
