EcoZone Volunteer Crew Open House

Join an upcoming Open House to learn about joining a committed group of volunteers that work alongside Prospect Park Alliance gardeners in “EcoZones” to keep Brooklyn’s Backyard green and vibrant! The EcoZone Volunteer crew will work on important forest restoration and landscape improvements: helping to remove invasive plants, plant new trees, shrubs and groundcover, maintain trails, and tackle tree care to support our urban forest.

EcoZone Volunteer Crew Open Houses
Thursdays, 9 am–12 pm (EcoZone 3)
Thursdays, 9:30 am–12 pm (EcoZone 5)

• EcoZone 3: Willink Plaza (Flatbush Avenue at Empire Boulevard) to Parkside
• EcoZone 5: 10th Avenue Entrance to 16th Street Entrance

All who are interested in joining the EcoZone Volunteer Crew must attend an upcoming EcoZone Volunteer Crew Open House, taking place every Thursday from August 1–October 24, to learn more about the program and to meet our dedicated team of EcoZone Gardeners.
