Volunteer to care for Hoyt Arboretum’s trees and trails with a variety of hands-on stewardship projects. Projects vary for each crew depending on the needs of the season, but often include invasive species removal, weeding and mulching, trail maintenance, and more. With 189-acres and more than 6,000 trees along 12 miles of trails, volunteers are incredibly important to maintaining Hoyt Arboretum’s tree collection and trail system. This is a unique opportunity for volunteers to learn about and care for rare and unusual plants from around the world, right here in Portland.
Stewardship crews occur rain or shine; volunteers should come dressed for the weather including long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
Volunteers should plan to bring a water bottle, snacks, and sun protection.
No previous stewardship crew experience is required; training, tools, gloves, and volunteer parking passes are provided. Registration is required (crew size is limited). Volunteers will meet at the worksite on Hoyt Arboretum grounds; exact meeting location details will be sent out prior to the crew date.
Masks are no longer required for outdoor programs in Portland parks. If you are feeling any COVID-19 symptoms, please stay safe and stay home.
Volunteer Age Requirement
Volunteers must be at least 16-years-old. Volunteers between the ages of 16 and 17-years-old are welcome to volunteer without an adult, but an adult needs to sign their youth waiver form.
