Cincinnati Parks

TSP Qualifier Events are scheduled for volunteers pending certification. Volunteers who have passed the Trained Service Person eLearning module and have at least 10 hours of conservation service at either Cincinnati Parks conservation sites, or our partner organizations Mill Creek Alliance and Cardinal Land Conservancy, are able to register for one of the qualifier events. CLM staff will be on site to certify volunteers to ensure plant ID. This is the final step in the certification process. It is a practical test with a written component: candidates will be handed a clipboard with 10 questions that correspond with ten plants flagged along a trail. The purpose of this test is to verify that volunteers are able to confidently identify honeysuckle. There is also a brief demonstration on proper cutting techniques and application of herbicide.

*Registration for the June 6 qualifier at Loveland Preserve requires applying on Cardinal Land Conservancy’s My Impact portal, which you can do here. 

**Registration for the November 7 qualifier at Mill Creek Greenway Trail requires applying on Mill Creek Alliance's My Impact portal, which you can do here. 

Please note: When you apply with one of our partner organizations, you may receive a pop-up notification saying, "This email already exists in our system." Select "apply anyway" and proceed. You are not creating another My Impact account, just applying as a volunteer with a partner organization.
