Volunteers

Yes, You are Needed

 

 

This park is a labor of love, but the two of us cannot make it work alone. We have had some WONDERFUL volunteers. We would be delighted to have a few more great ones! Please take a minute to review our volunteer opportunities, a brief description on how to become a volunteer -- and our Special Thanks to current and past volunteers.

 

 

Volunteer Opportunities

We have had all sorts of volunteers. Some were family and/or friends first. All felt like family in the end. Volunteers can help with projects or services like:

  • gardening (vegetable or flower)

  • building construction or repair

  • general maintenance (e.g., mowing or weeding)

  • guided tours

  • parties or special events

  • programs (e.g., class or demonstration)

  • something we have not thought of?

 

How to Become a Volunteer

If you would like to volunteer some of your time -- contact us and we will be happy to work with you to match your interests and abilities.

Please Note: As much as we appreciate the help, we cannot accept unaccompanied volunteers under the age of eighteen (it is a supervision and liability issue).
