Olmsted Month in your Buffalo Olmsted Parks

By

Join the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy (BOPC) in launching its bustling park season with Olmsted Month – a community-led effort that brings corporate leaders together to prepare all 850-acres of parkland for the spring and summer.

Olmsted Month unites your philanthropic dollars with customized teambuilding and the opportunity to give back. When you volunteer in a Buffalo Olmsted Park, you are supporting the 1 million+ people who visit the parks annually for connection to nature and community.

National Fuel Volunteers

Each park landscape contains specific needs in the fields of horticulture, ecological restoration, or general park management. Projects may include weeding, mulching, invasive species removal, perennial and native plantings, and other garden maintenance tasks.

Olmsted Month will kick off on Earth Day, April 22, with volunteer events running through the park system until May 22. Interested in getting involved with Olmsted Month? Contact Jeanne at jeanne@bfloparks.org.

Olmsted Month is generously presented by National Fuel

With additional support from Curbell

The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy Volunteer Program is generously supported by M&T Bank
