Enjoy nature and help restore a historic landmark - all at the same time! Join Graycliff's Green Team of gardeners and grounds keepers to help keep our 8.5 acres of grounds and gardens attractive to visitors from throughout the world. Help us preserve and maintain the gracious park-like setting of this magnificent jewel on the lake. Lovely location on a bluff high above Lake Erie in a country-like setting, yet only 20 minutes from downtown Buffalo. As a member of the Green Team, your most important job is to keep Graycliff’s grounds neat and presentable (with a focus on the historic "Home Grounds") under the director of Graycliff’s horticultural staff.
At varying times, duties may include:
● Weeding
● Helping to lay mulch and compost
● Raking leaves
● Clearing branches after a windstorm
● Planting and watering flower beds
● Trimming bushes and foliage
Expertise in gardening appreciated, but not necessary. Monday availability is a must. There are many different tasks to be done in maintaining our extensive grounds, ranging from digging to weeding to trimming--just about everything!

Mission Statement
The Graycliff Conservancy, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to restoring and preserving the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Graycliff Estate as a publicly accessible landmark.
Description
The non-profit Graycliff Conservancy was founded in 1997 specifically to acquire, preserve, and restore the Graycliff Estate. A true grass-roots success story, thanks to volunteers and professionals throughout Western New York and across the United States, the Graycliff Conservancy has accomplished most of its original goals, and is making great progress in completing restoration of the Graycliff Estate, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright from 1926-31. We hope you will consider joining and advancing these efforts.
