ALL PLAY Days at Holden Forests & Gardens are when we host one-time volunteer activities that are open to anyone, whether you are an active volunteer with us or not! It’s an opportunity to help the environment, meet new people, try out volunteering for us and hopefully, have a little fun! Plus, you get the benefit of free parking and free admission before or after your shift, so you can enjoy our remarkable forests & gardens.
ALL PLAY Days - Trail Building
Join us at our Holden Arboretum campus to help build out a new hiking trail near Pierson Creek! This new trail will enable guests to enjoy and explore this unique area of the Arboretum. Trail building activities include chopping, lopping, raking and digging. No prior experience necessary - we take all comers, ages 14 and up!
Here are the details:
- WHEN: 9:00am-12:00pm, after which volunteers are invited to stay for a half hour of light refreshments and celebration!
- WHERE: Volunteers should park in the Cooper Administration Building parking lot at 9500 Sperry Road. We will carpool to/from the work site so volunteers must arrive on time.
- WEAR: Volunteers must wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, long pants and long sleeves. Volunteers who are not dressed in proper attire will be turned away.
- WHAT TO BRING: Please bring a water bottle; sunscreen, bug spray and backpacks for storing gear are also recommended. All tools are provided. Eye protection and gloves are required but can be provided, if needed.
- WHAT ELSE: All volunteers are required to read and sign our Volunteer Waiver & Agreement which will be sent to you. Volunteers age 18+ can print it out and bring it with you or sign a paper copy at the work site. IMPORTANT: Volunteers under age 18 MUST print this waiver, have a parent/guardian complete and sign both sides, and bring the signed waiver with them to volunteer. NO EXCEPTIONS.
NOTE - All dates are weather-dependent. Volunteers will be notified by email in case of cancellation.
