Volunteer to help FRIENDS and the Warner Parks

FRIENDS is EVE certified by the Center for Nonprofit Management

Friends of Warner Parks has abundant opportunities for volunteers, from helping out in the office to working in the woods. Your help in essential to providing quality services and experiences in the Warner Parks.

We currently need volunteers to assist the staff in dealing with the public and to help in the office with answering phones and doing light computer work. From September through March, we need people to supervise crews removing exotic plants.

Please check the areas that interest you:

Program Volunteer: Help staff naturalists provide quality programming for the public and increase your knowledge of wildlife and conservation.

Field Trip Naturalist: With more training and a weekly commitment, you can give guided tours through the museum and the Nature Center grounds.

Gardening, Grounds & Landscape: Help maintain our teaching gardens (wildflower, herb, and vegetable), learn about organic growing, and maintain pathways, the greenhouse and the diverse landscape.

ParkWatch: Help keep the Parks secure and in tip-top shape. In this non-confrontational program, you spend time in the Parks and report what you witness.

Office Assistant: We often have projects in the Learning Center, library, on the computers, doing historical research, or organizing photo albums.

Exotic Plant Removal: Join staff on organized removal and restoration days. Do your part to protect our native species.

Adopt-a-Part-of-the-Park: Adopt a special area of the Parks. Restore and maintain the area by keeping it free of trash and exotic plants.

Trailwork: Help keep trails clean and safe, including removal of fallen tree branches and regular clearing of bridges. For those with the interest and experience, the trail manager may solicit more involved projects.

Special Events: Join us for the Full Moon Pickin' Parties, Golf Tournament, Children's Picnic, Rock & Road Race, and other fundraising events and be a part of the action. It is our volunteers that make these events possible.
