Volunteers assist in the care of the animals and plants in
the Park. There are plans for an expansion of this
program, so there is a need for experienced and/or
enthusiastic individuals to assist with this growing
department. We also need arborists and assistants to
oversee tree and plant health, and help with trail maintenance.
Volunteers can also help keep the environment safe and
beautiful through the removal of invasive and exotic
plants, the maintenance of sensitive habitats and litter
removal throughout the park.
