Horticulture Helpers
Cincinnati Parks have a long and distinguished tradition in Cincinnati. The city is fortunate to have a thriving system consisting of 5,000-plus acres of city parklands including five regional parks, 70 neighborhood parks, 34 natural areas, five neighborhood nature centers, 30 sites managed by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, five parkways, 16 scenic overlooks, 2 arboretums, and 65 miles of hiking and bridle trails. Within this robust "city within a park", thousands of square footage of floral displays are created and maintained by a team of horticulturists that in no small way place the finishing beauty on the special destinations of Cincinnati Parks.
We are organizing opportunities for volunteers to support the important work of Parks horticulture staff in select parks locations. Volunteers will assist Parks horticulturists with general horticultural needs (clearing, weeding, deadheading, light pruning, watering, and planting). This a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in public horticulture and enjoys working outdoors, and is comfortable engaging with the public to answer questions about our gardens.
Some opportunities are team based and others have more autonomy, but in all cases the work is guided by our staff. The goal is to build an experienced group of volunteers to support efforts that keep our parks beautiful and healthy. All of these opportunities require an on-going commitment, minimum of one season, but hopefully more!
When you register, you will have a brief interview with a volunteer coordinator or someone from the horticulture team. We want to ensure a good fit for all volunteers and the team.

Mill Creek Alliance
Restoration
As with any built project, an environmental restoration project requires maintenance to realize long-term benefits. MCA maintains 11+ post-project sites through removing invasive vegetation and installing native plants to promote biodiversity and stream stability at those restored sites. Given the number of sites and hundreds of acres of streambank taken under MCA's wing, our small staff benefits from generous volunteers to help maintain these areas.
Aided by MCA Restoration staff, volunteers engage at multiple levels in site maintenance work such as invasive vegetation removal and native plant installation. Volunteers can begin at an entry or novice level and work towards becoming a Volunteer Group Leader, trained to lead fellow volunteers in restoration work without MCA staff present. Any level of contribution is valuable to the stewardship and maintenance of the Mill Creek and its watershed.
