Here are some examples!
Office Support
Help produce the B-W Greenway newsletter, update the organization's contact database, and keep up with all the paperwork!

Each property that has a conservation easement held by B-W Greenway is required to be inspected once a year. Monitors visit a property, take photos, and complete the short report. Training is provided. This is a wonderful way to enjoy getting to know our special places.

Our board of trustees and volunteer teams all meet regularly to advance their piece of the B-W Greenway mission.

Property Liaisons are assigned to one of our conservation easement properties to help keep an eye out for issues and coordinate volunteer workdays. Training is provided.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!
Join us for one of our honeysuckle hacks! Need some exercise and some great time outside? Join us for a fun conservation day in the park while helping remove invasive species from the natural area.
The B-W Greenway helps to maintain the health of the Estel Wenrick Wetlands AND Anderson Fen by removing the invasive honeysuckle plant so that native plants can thrive.
Bush Honeysuckle
Introduced into the United States as an ornamental shrub, bush honeysuckle has invaded forests, fields and fencerows in Ohio and surrounding states. In some areas, it has formed a thicket that smothers nearly all other vegetation, eliminating the native plants our birds, bees and wildlife depend on. The OSU Extension fact sheet provides details:
