Start the new year with a commitment to serve! Monday, January 20, times listed by location

For years, MLK Day has been referred to as "A day on, not a day off." If you are inspired to make a difference in your community, we will have opportunities to get out and serve!

Cincinnati Parks will have several service sites in community parks. Help us maintain safe, clean & beautiful parks for communities throughout the city, look for the location closest to your neighborhood.

"Yet, in spite of these spectacular strides in science and technology, and still unlimited ones to come, something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers."

- MLK, Nobel Lecture, Oslo 12/1/1964

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED! Cincinnati Parks is working to establish dates and times for this volunteer event. We will update this volunteer event listing as soon as they do. Thanks for your patience!

Volunteers will assist Cincy Parks Staff in horticulture maintenance on the grounds of Hauck Botanic Gardens. We are in the process of renovating the landscape through removing invasive species and weeds, spreading woodchips along trails, and possibly planting trees, shrubs and perennials as we work with the Civic Garden Center to transform a large section of the park into educational gardens and spaces. Not only will your hard work beautify the park gardens, it will also help in conservation efforts.

Volunteers should be prepared for the weather in lightweight clothing, wear long pants and layers (long sleeves), close-toed shoes are required. Suggested: refillable water bottle - there will be water cooler on site for volunteers to fill a bottle. Cincinnati Parks discourages single - use plastics.

Cincinnati Parks, the Civic Garden Center, and Walnut Hills High School students are collaborating on a large habitat restoration project located on park property in front of the high school. This is a long term project with an end goal of controlling invasive plant species, planting native plants, creating nature trails, and establishing a designated space for environmental education and research within the community.  Walnut Hills students hope to eventually use the space as an outdoor land lab, as this woods is located just steps from the main entrance to their school!

This "Treeforestation" project is located on the acre of land located between Victory Parkway & Sulsar Avenue - just in front of Walnut Hills School.

Volunteers should be prepared for the weather and wear long pants and long sleeves to protect against thorns and possible poison ivy encounters.  Close-toed shoes are required. Suggested: Bring work gloves (if you own them) and a refillable water bottle.  There will be work gloves available to borrow and  a water cooler will be provided on site for volunteers to refill  bottles. Cincinnati Parks discourages single - use plastics.
