Volunteer Opportunities

• The Big Pick: The county’s annual volunteer harvest event to pick and donate fresh produce for those in need all throughout our community. The event is held on the Last weekend in September and the first weekend in October (weather permitting).
• Trail Work: As new segments of trail get added and maintenance of existing trail continues, we are always in search of dedicated trail advocates willing to help.
• Environmental Education: As the farm community grows, we are looking to explore our natural resources and host environmental education classes such as birding, hiking, horticulture, and more. We are looking for educators or experienced and passionate experts to assist class guidance.
• Clean Up: The Park Department is committed to making greater use of the 720 acres, with ongoing clean-up days planned both within the historic buildings and outdoors in the surrounding areas. Those with a passion for preserving and protecting local history and natural resources are encouraged to get involved. Your support is essential.
• Greenhouse: Individuals with a green thumb or those interested in developing their gardening skills are encouraged to assist with watering, pruning, planting, and supporting the greenhouse.
