Volunteer Opportunities at Mt.Airy Forest

We are so blessed to have Cincinnati’s largest park right in our neighborhood. “The Forest” is within walking distance or a short bike ride or drive away from anywhere in the community. At 1459 acres and with over 25 miles of hiking trails, the mere size can can make the maintenance of the park daunting task for the city. For this reason, the Parks Dept. is very reliant on the volunteer community to provide assistance for general upkeep of the park. There are a number of volunteer groups coordinated through parks. If you are interested in becoming a Cincinnati Parks volunteer, please go to https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cincyparks/get-involved/volunteer/  for information and an application.
