VOLUNTEER

Volunteer at the Park

Rhododendron Garden Volunteers – Want to meet other gardeners and learn about plants in the Rhododendron Garden? Join the lively “Tuesday Morning Regulars” as they work each Tuesday in the Rhododendron Garden. Now working throughout the year. Join the volunteers at a location posted on the main lawn every Tuesday 9 a.m., and we’ll work until Noon.

Forest Saturday Morning Work Parties – Want to be part of the Forest crew, who is slowly but surely restoring the forest in Hendricks Park? The crew removes ivy, does invasive weed removal, trail work, and learns about forest ecology. Be part of the change and join our monthly work parties on Saturdays. See Free the Forest dates below.  Meet in the picnic area at 9:00 a.m.

Native Plant Garden Volunteers – Join fellow native plant enthusiasts every Thursday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm for a morning of gardening and knowledge-sharing (Summer hours). Learn about Willamette Valley native plants and how to use them in your home garden while volunteering. Volunteers meet at the Wilkins shelter. 

Other Volunteer Opportunities: – If you are interested in learning how a non-profit works, want to become a committee member or Board member, or get involved with fund-raising or other opportunities, contact us at (541) 607-4066 or by e-mail at info@friendsofhendrickspark.org.
