Volunteers provide assistance to the Arboretum in many ways. Some volunteers participate in scheduled work days, working with a group to complete projects such as invasive species control, trail maintenance, collecting seed or planting trees or shrubs. Other volunteers select independent projects and may conduct a bird or plant inventory, monitor a rare species, or lead field trips. If you would like to offer your time or expertise, please contact Arboretum Director Nancy Braker or attend one of our group events. We send out announcements and reminders of our activities, so please let us know if you would like to be on our email distribution list.

Arboretum Work Day, Saturday, May 31, 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon.

Join the Arboretum Crew to remove invasive honeysuckle and buckthorn in the Upper Arboretum. Meet on the paved trail at the bridge over Spring Creek, just down the trail from the intersection of Oak and Second Streets. See map below. Bring drinking water and work gloves if you have them, wear long pants and sturdy shoes or boots.
