Volunteer
Bring our mission to life.
Join us to build your relationship with the land and river. We welcome individual and group volunteering for a variety of projects throughout the year, with most opportunities between March and November.
All volunteers must register individually in order to complete our volunteer waiver.
Outdoor Volunteering
We welcome volunteers for outdoor work with our horticulture, farm, and facilities staff on seasonal tasks like weeding, planting, cleaning, pruning, and light maintenance. No special skills or past experience is needed. Dress for working outdoors, and if you have them, bring work gloves and a water bottle.
