EcoZone 2 Volunteer Crew Open House
Here’s a chance to make an ongoing commitment to your community! Join a Prospect Park Alliance EcoZone Volunteer Crew to help Alliance gardeners care forBrooklyn’s Backyard! Prospect Park is divided into seven Ecological Zones (EcoZones) that are specifically maintained by dedicated EcoZone gardeners.
We’re recruiting an EcoZone 2 Volunteer Crew to assist EcoZone Gardeners in restoration and general maintenance tasks to care for the zone that stretches along the Northeast side of the park from The Vale of Cashmere to Willink Plaza (Flatbush Avenue at Empire Boulevard), including the Midwood, from October 2026 to June 2027.*
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:
- Commitment to be available weekly (with a minimum participation twice a month) on Wednesdays 9 am–12 pm from October 2026 through June 2027*
- Available to attend an Orientation Session in-person
- Comfortable outdoors for three hours in cold, hot, sunny, rainy, or humid weather. Cancellations will be announced in the event of extreme weather.
- Ability to bend and lift 15 pounds on a repeated basis to dig and move soil and weeds.
- Comfortable kneeling for weed removal continually for 3 hours.
Appropriate for adults only.
