Volunteer Event Registration

What to Expect:

Weather could be sunny and hot, or wet and quite cold. Be ready for all these types of conditions.

For camp overs, the first day will be spent learning about the high-elevation dry forest. The other full days will be spent planting native plants and collecting native seeds if available.

Next Steps:

Register below for the trip to reserve your spot. (hurry, limited spaces are filling up quickly!)
We’ll then respond to confirm your participation (please allow us time to process all responses)
Be sure everyone in your party carefully reads through the Volunteer Packet
