The Lewis and Clark National Historical Park is currently recruiting volunteers for its new Volunteer Garden Corp.
The Volunteer Garden Corps will meet weekly on Thursdays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm starting on Thursday, May 15th. During meetings, volunteers will help NPS staff with maintaining our park display gardens. Volunteer activities will likely include invasive plant removal, pruning, watering, seed collecting, and attending other gardening needs. Certain sessions will also feature educational opportunities from local partners with lessons on garden tool upkeep, native plant identification, foraging, and other related topics. Volunteers do not need any previous experience in gardening to participate, and they do not need to attend every meeting to sign up.
Volunteers who are interested in joining can visit volunteer.gov and search Lewis and Clark National Historical Park to see our current opportunities and hit “Apply Now” to sign up. They can also attend a meeting, and we will have Volunteer Agreement forms on site. If any prospective volunteers have questions about this or any of our other opportunities, they can send us an email at lewi_volunteer@nps.gov or give us a call at (503) 861-4424.
