Volunteering

The Town of Prescott is seeking to form a dedicated group of volunteers for an off-leash dog park to help make this a valued space for our dog community! In conjunction with the Town responsibilities, the expectations of this volunteer group include:

- Daily Inspection and maintenance, raking gravel surface
- Waste Clean-Up into Receptacles
- Coordination with the Town, notification of problems
- Fund-raising initiatives for improvements

The Town of Prescott is currently seeking dedicated volunteers with a love of gardening and beautifying our small town! The newly developed Adopt-A-Garden Program is a volunteer-based program designed for interested individuals, groups, and businesses to be able to adopt a street side or public garden.

Our goal is to provide adopters with an active role in the community by maintaining and improving the Town’s street gardens, as well as providing a way to grow pride in the community. If you are interested and would like more information, please view the program link above or reach out to info@prescott.ca
