Volunteering is a great way to meet new friends, earn community service credits, protect your local environment, and help maintain and enhance one of the Pacific Northwest’s great treasures; Washington Park Arboretum.

Opportunities include:

• Helping your community maintain the grounds and plant collections in the Washington Park Arboretum by participating in weeding parties and other activities. A great way to protect the environment!
  
  
• Assisting with special projects and events. Cashiers, setup and clean up volunteers, hold area attendants, and other section volunteers are always in demand.
  
  
• Joining the Pat Calvert Greenhouse or Plant Donations Nursery volunteers for propagation and potting of plants and plant sales.
  
  
• Working in the Arboretum Gift Shop.
