Opportunity Details

Appropriate Age Range: 18 and over

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. These projects include mulching, painting, invasive plant removal and other landscaping tasks.

This week we will be spreading mulch and removing invasive plants in Sullivan Hill. We will meet at the Picnic House and walk across the Long Meadow to the scenic forests of the hill.

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.
