Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer at the Outdoor Learning Lab

We can always use some help with our projects at the Outdoor Learning Lab.  From weeding and mulching in the gardens, to building trails and removing invasive species in our woods, to helping install new features, we always have things going on!  Volunteers can join one of the pre-planned public volunteer days or contact us to set up a volunteer time.  

All volunteers are asked to please read and adhere to the requirements found on the upcoming events page.

Location and parking information can be found on the Visit page.
