Spruce the Couve

Advance registration is required. RSVP today!

Join the City of Vancouver’s Volunteer Programs department, Vancouver’s Downtown Association, the Hilton and the Parks Foundation of Clark County for our annual Spruce the Couve event. Volunteers will be planting flowers in Esther Short Park and working in teams to clean up downtown. Training, gloves, tools, water and snacks will be provided. This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens – people of all ages are welcome. We also accept group registration so bring your friends, families and coworkers for a morning of volunteer service. Youth under 18 must bring a signed minor consent form. Youth under 13 must be accompanied by an adult guardian. Please make sure to check the box next to the project you would like to register for- Downtown Cleanup, Uptown Cleanup or Flower Planting.

Accessibility is important to us and we’ve taken it into account while planning this event. This location is wheelchair accessible and is in a high-traffic area for both pedestrians and cars and can get noisy. For planting projects, you may need to bend, stoop or kneel on the ground and use a small hand tool. For downtown cleanup projects, you may be using a litter grabber and other tools and lifting up to 10 pounds. There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to find a volunteer role that will work for you.
