Volunteer Opportunities

A Call for Volunteers in 2013!

The Arboretum recruits volunteers throughout the year to participate in daily activities and special events. If propagation, gardening, leading tours, or working with wildlife interests you, consider sharing your time and talents with us. Send applications to Elizabeth Vogler, Assistant Director, or call (928) 774-1442, ext. 124.

Why volunteer with us?

Learn: You’ll learn about high-elevation plants and gardening techniques and get the satisfaction of helping others become successful gardeners.

Teach: You’ll help create beautiful gardens and teach Flagstaff residents and visitors about the ecology of the Colorado Plateau.

Be appreciated: If you work more than 25 hours by September 30, you’ll be invited to the annual Volunteer Recognition Breakfast.

Get discounts: You get discounts at our gift shop and plant sales — 10 percent when your work more than 25 hours and 15 percent when you work more than 50 hours during a calendar year.

Get mileage: If you’re over 55, we reimburse your mileage through the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program.
