BRING YOUR GROUP

Are you a company or group in the Cincinnati area searching for your next volunteer event? Look no further than Gorman Heritage Farm! We cultivate an informed, involved community dedicated to Building Healthy Futures, and we offer unique ways to give back.

 Here are some projects for your consideration:

• working in our gardens including weeding and turning compost piles
• working up on our farmyard sweeping out barns, cleaning stalls and washing watering containers
• helping us with our habitat restoration work by cutting down honeysuckle with loppers, and/or planting prairie grass seeds and milkweed seedlings
• trimming back overgrowth on our 8 miles of hiking trails,
• sanding and sealing picnic tables, benches and railings around our pond,
• clearing (weedwhacking) overgrown areas,
• trimming fencelines and laying mulch
• mowing and stringtrimming where possible
• special event set-up including tables/chairs, decorations and signage as needed

Special “fun” construction projects are:

• small building projects on the farmyard including installing fencing
• building and barn maintenance including roof and gutter repair

Coordinate a project team within your group to include:

• • Project Manager- Design structured as appropriate based on project. Scope overall project, including timing, materials needed, equipment needed, number of volunteers needed, volunteer skillsets needed. Create daily project plan of materials, equipment, and people needed and milestones.
  • Volunteer Coordinator- Gather volunteers, communicate company volunteer policy, coordinate transportation as needed, order meals for volunteers, manage volunteer paperwork with GHF and company.
