Volunteer opportunities with the Native Plant Program
Our program is an ideal situation for developing volunteer opportunities. From June through August, we invite volunteers to drop in to the nursery each Tuesday to assist with plant maintenance and nursery chores. The volunteer is free to come when they choose and leave when they choose – there is no need to contact us before hand.

We also look for volunteers to assist with seed collection and reveg work at various times throughout the summer and fall. In addition, we are always looking for assistance with the delivery of student stewardship activities on specific days throughout the winter, late spring and fall. For any of these activities, the interested volunteer should call Joyce Lapp, 406-888-7817 to make arrangements and participate in our volunteer orientation.

We may also be able to accommodate a volunteer for a longer period of time, especially if they have their own lodging or can camp. We have had several individuals work with us for 6 or more weeks each summer, under a special arrangement. Again, interested individuals need to contact Joyce Lapp at 406-888-7817 to arrange particulars and develop a meaningful volunteer activity.
