Join us for a volunteer day at SRT's Dry Creek Nursery, where we grow California native and drought-tolerant plants for landscaping and restoration purposes! Volunteer activities are tailored to allow people of all ages and abilities to participate. Tasks include a range of activities from horticultural (planting, transplanting, weeding, etc.) to nursery maintenance (raking/sweeping, organizing inventory, etc.).
Nursery volunteer days are held on the first and third Fridays of every month. For more information, please feel free to check out our social media accounts or reach out to our Education and Volunteer team at education@sequoiariverlands.org. Looking forward to seeing you out there!
