Opportunity Details

Appropriate Age Range: 18 and over

Appropriate for Community Groups: No

Join Prospect Park Alliance this spring to help care for the park before the start of our busy season. From April to early June, adult volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of projects around the park. For this project, volunteers will be removing invasive plants and sprucing up paths near the Willink entrance. We will help create an inviting environment in a place that is the entry point to the park for many visitors, including for the families and children enjoying the Children's Corner.

Be advised, these projects involve repetitive bending, kneeling, lifting and transporting loaded wheelbarrows. This opportunity requires using sharp tools and encountering potentially hazardous plants and materials.

Details and Requirements:

Basic pruning, tool safety, plant and tree identification skills preferred.
Ability to lift 20 lbs, dig, bend, kneel, work on slopes, do weed removal and planting.
Comfortable with outdoor fieldwork in hot, sunny, rainy or humid weather - except extreme or hazardous weather.
