Park Stewards Program

The Park Stewards Program provides an opportunity for people to directly engage in the care and improvement of Rouge Park. Community support is critical to maintaining and sustaining this important public resource. Stewardship is also a great way to connect with other people who share your love of Rouge Park while engaging in activities that enhance the quality of life for all residents: human, plant and animal. By becoming a steward, you will help ensure that Rouge Park is cared for and kept healthy and beautiful for generations to come.
