Environmental Stewardship

Park Stewardship Events

The City of Rochester’s Department of Recreation and Human Services is partnering with the Seneca Park Zoo Society to sponsor a series of ‘park clean-up events’ along the Genesee Riverway Trail.

All volunteer events take place on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 12’noon. Tools and gloves will be provided. Please dress for the weather and bring water to stay hydrated. Masks are required. All 2021 monthly clean up dates are to be determined.
