Spring Clean-up Weekend
Held each spring, this is a great opportunity to lend a hand and help prepare Killarney Provincial Park for the camping season. We clean and rake roads and campsites, rehabilitate disturbed areas by planting trees, and undertake special projects like rehabilitating trails and building boardwalks.
“It's not a cleanup weekend, it's an event. [...] People would say to me, ‘Well, that's a lot of work to do up there’. I just know we're having fun.”
