Volunteer in the Wetland

Come lend a hand!

Gain hands-on experience in wetland restoration, participate in a team building activity, and volunteer for a shift in the wetland!

The wetland team occasionally hosts volunteer sessions for any interested students, staff, and faculty. Each volunteer session lasts about 2.5 hours. Volunteer sessions involve hands-on work removing invasive species, planting native species, and other general wetland maintenance. This work is incredibly valuable for the health of our wetland ecosystem and allows the wetland staff to continue avoiding the use of pesticides in its management.
