Get Involved: Como Park Steward Program
The District 10 Environment Committee, in partnership with St. Paul Parks & Rec invites individuals or groups (families, schools, churches, clubs, etc) to volunteer and give back and to help keep our regional treasure welcoming for everyone.

Como Park Stewards participate in ongoing clean up, special clean up events, work with the city departments to report tree and natural damage, graffiti, safety, and other concerns. There is a minimum commitment of one-year with visits twice monthly. (Some parcels are allowed more than one steward, depending on commitment levels)

Stewards pick their favorite area to walk, run or bike, or that they feel a special connection, such as an environmental project or learning experience, or even in memorandum of someone special. Parcels are shown on the Park Steward map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1N7AC_EtdD6kdVqq3OLJPhCxEgX-V1FE&ll=44.980700790933824%2C-93.14602525&z=15

Look at all available parcels on the Como Steward Program map, then register to be a Como Park Steward. After you complete your registration, you will be contacted about parcel selection: https://www.cervistech.com/acts/console.php?console_id=0177&console_type=event_list&res_code=Rv5AkW&ht=1
