Volunteering at the Arboretum

Volunteers at The Crosby Arboretum fill a variety of vital roles, both behind the scenes tending plants, maintaining trails, stuffing envelopes, and assisting with construction and before the public as tour guides, gift shop assistants, and admission greeters. Both the task and the time are fitted to individual volunteers; some volunteers give of their time one day a week, others give a few hours a month. The Crosby Arboretum welcomes volunteers with a wide range of interests and talents. For more information about volunteering at the Arboretum, call Robin Veerkamp at (601) 799-2311 ext. 23.
