Volunteering with Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve

Save to Favorites

A supportive membership and dedicated group of volunteers is essential to the success of Beech Creek Gardens. We need both members and volunteers to work on committees, provide labor or materials, staff community events, and share their expert advice or skills.

If you want an opportunity to "get out of the house," do something outdoors, or do something that benefits others, we have numerous volunteer opportunities for you. Anyone that believes in our mission and would like to help support us by volunteering are encouraged to do so. To sweeten the deal, once a month, volunteers are treated to a home-cooked, hot meal for lunch, including beverage and dessert!

Volunteer support can be provided in many ways, such as:

• providing information to visitors at an attraction or event;

• providing knowledge, expertise, or labor on a development project;

• developing programs or events to attract members of the community to visit us;

• helping maintain or enhance existing attractions features, or programs.

GENERAL PURPOSE VOLUNTEERING

These opportunities typically involve general skills like site maintenance or administrative-type tasks. Expectations of these type of volunteers are of a general, "whatever needs to be done" nature.

Every Tuesday and Friday (except holidays) are "Project Days." Volunteers are welcome to come and help with an assortment of projects.

Volunteers usually come in around 10:00 AM and work as long as they like. Some folks pack a lunch and stay as late as 4:00 PM. You can just show up or contact us for more information.

PROGRAM or ATTRACTION SPECIFIC VOLUNTEERING

These opportunities typically involve various skills that are used to support and lead volunteer or Beech Creek Gardens member in the maintenance (ongoing development) or presentation of a specific program.

This type of volunteering allows the individual (or group) to participate in something that they have specific knowledge of or interest in.

An assortment of talents, skills, and experience is always helpful, but we can train you also!
