How the community
feels about us…

I get to meet new people, learn and be active in the outdoors...working with my hands to nurture plants is therapeutic. My plans to volunteer for a few hours each week is challenged by wanting to stay longer. You know when you’re onto a good thing when this happens! Come and join us... it’s a lot of fun!
— Volunteer, Pauline
As a volunteer I’m welcomed, supported, encouraged, informed, included, valued and appreciated. It’s very satisfying to work in a team that nurtures native plants, seeds, and seedlings. I’m inspired and rewarded knowing that our work together contributes to positive changes in our natural environment. The enthusiasm, dedication and respect given by the team leaders makes this a great place to volunteer.
