Volunteer Appreciation

At MetroParks, we heart our volunteers! This month and every month we look for ways to show heartfelt appreciation to our most dedicated supporters - those that readily lend a hand in the gardens, on the trails, at our visitor centers, at our programs and events, and so much more. You make MetroParks possible - thank you for all you do! Enjoy this thank you from Volunteer Services and CEO, Karen Hesser.

Then, be sure to take a look at this year's Volunteer Impact Report - this is so much more than a report, rather it is more of a yearbook of service dedicated to those that give so much to our parks. You'll find great volunteer photos, stories, and highlights of impact from across our agency along with a very sincere thank you for your service. 

Volunteer Thank You cards are on their way to addresses all over the Miami Valley, many of which include volunteer discount cards - valid for 2026 for 15%, 30% or even 50% off MetroParks programs and routine rentals. Look for yours in your mailbox soon!

The sun is finally out, and the temperatures are warming up, don't forget to request your NEW VIP Naturalist hat to protect you out on the trails and in the gardens this season. Click here to request your volunteer apparel.

Thank you for volunteering with MetroParks!
