Here’s a chance to make an ongoing commitment to your community! Join Prospect Park Alliance EcoZone Volunteer Crew to care for natural areas in Brooklyn’s Backyard!  Prospect Park is divided into seven Ecological Zones (EcoZones) that are specifically maintained by a dedicated member of our Landscape Management Team. 

We’re recruiting an EcoZone Volunteer Crew to assist in the forest restoration and general maintenance duties on the southwest side of the park from 10th Avenue Entrance to 16th Street entrance from November 2024 through June 2025*.  

Please join us for at least one Open House session on Thursdays from August to October (9:30 am - 12 pm) to meet our Gardeners and get your hands dirty.  

EcoZone 5 Open Houses: Aug 8, Aug 22, Sept 5, Sept 19, Oct 3, Oct 17
