Opportunity Details
Saturday Crew at Hoyt Arboretum (age 8+) *Hands On*
Volunteer crews are incredibly important to maintaining the Hoyt Arboretum’s tree and plant collection and trail system. Volunteers have a unique opportunity to learn and care for rare and unusual trees and plants from around the world. Saturday Crew Volunteers help with planting, watering, pruning, weeding, mulching, invasive species removal and brush removal working in a team environment with Hoyt Arboretum's horticulturist.
Saturday Crew is an outdoor volunteer opportunity and will happen rain or shine. Please come dressed appropriately for the weather--long pants, sturdy shoes and a water bottle are always recommended. Gloves and tools will be provided.
Volunteers will learn about trees, plants and horticulture. No previous experience is required! Onsite training is provided by staff at the start of each crew.
