- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Do you enjoy spending time outdoors? Do you have gardening experience or an interest in learning more about gardening and local native plants? Come join Lewis and Clark National Historical Park's new Volunteer Garden Corps!
Garden Corps members will work closely with park staff to support and maintain the park’s native demonstration gardens and landscaped areas including the ethnobotanical garden, raingarden, pollinator patch, and other areas of high visitor use. These duties include regularly weeding undesirable species, pruning and trimming plant material, watering, chipping garden paths, collecting seed, and assisting with planting native plants. No prior experience is necessary to participate; our staff will provide training and guidance on all aspects of the position as well as personal protective equipment and necessary tools.
Some aspects of the position will utilize integrated pest management principles which include manual, mechanical and chemical removal of invasive plant species. This may include the use of unrestricted herbicides, and mechanical tools. This work may also include use of kayaks to access aquatic plants.
Sessions are planned for every Thursday from 1:00pm - 4:00pm PST starting May 15th. Volunteers DO NOT need to attend every session to participate in the Garden Corps!
