Gold Park Pollinator Garden
The pollinator garden is maintained by the Orange County Master Gardener Program, a program of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Orange County Center.
Workdays are typically 9-11 a.m. on the third Thursday of the month from March to October. Volunteers are encouraged to bring sun protection, a water bottle and any favorite gardening tools.
Gold Park is located at 415 Dimmocks Mill Road. The garden is along the Riverwalk greenway, south of the railroad trestle.
Removal of Invasive Plants
The Tree Board's invasive species removal team meets weekly to remove invasive plants and plant native plants in Hillsborough’s public spaces.
The team gathers for two hours on Wednesdays, meeting in the afternoon in cooler months and in the morning during warmer months. Volunteers bring loppers and shears to remove plants during removal season and shovels and trowels to plant during planting season.
Litter Cleanup
Help pick up litter within town limits. The town will provide gloves, grabbers and trash bags. Volunteers can leave the trash bags in the collection area and the Public Works Division will pick up the bags for disposal.
