THE VOLUNTEER VINE
Help the Parks for a Day—Or All Year Long!
Each month the Cincinnati Parks will be hosting a stewardship project in one of our parks to give you the opportunity to help our community. If you or a group would like to volunteer for any of these projects, please e-mail cindi.nugent@cincinnati-oh.gov for more information.
Maintain Landscape at Liberty Green
If you love to garden, we’d love to have you help maintain the landscape at Liberty Green. Liberty Green is a beautiful greenspace near the corner of Reading Road and Liberty Street. A committed group of community activists has made this inner-city spot safe and beautiful once again, and we need you to help keep it blooming. Please e-mail cindi.nugent@cincinnati-oh.gov to volunteer.
In an effort to elevate community leadership in our parks, the Cincinnati Parks is seeking volunteers who have an interest in parks and greenspaces, a desire to recruit volunteers, and ideas for marketing and managing participants in the program. Contact cindi.nugent@cincinnati-oh.gov to apply.
