Please come for as long or as little as you like. Even a quick hello is okay with no need to RSVP. Please read through our volunteer page, it’ll answer a lot of general questions that you may have. There’s always a large variety of different projects taking place at any one given time but generally, we try to fit people where they feel most empowered.

Here is a brief overview of activities available. From gardening to making soil, crafting to lite construction, tinkering to engineering.

Generally, there are four types of activities:

Ecological Light – watering, planting, trimming, spreading wood chips, working with sheep or chickens, general beautification
Ecological Heavy – habitat restoration, tree planting, turning compost
Building Light – building benches, fixing fences, signage, general beautification
Building Heavy – building structures, installing fences & gates, putting up solar, erecting art & sculpture

One thing we ask prior to visiting is filling out our digital waiver, for Adults and Minors

Hope to see you here and learn together!
