Description

About Reflection Riding: Reflection Riding is a local nonprofit -part public park, part nature center, part wild lands, and all outdoor learning. Reflection Riding restores the vital connection between people and nature. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience nature, regardless of where they live or their economic status.


Volunteer Details: Support our Native Plant Program by volunteering in our nursery area. Tasks may include starting seeds, caring for baby plants, beautifying the nursery gardens, cleaning pots, restocking the sales area, and assisting with special infrastructure projects. Projects change based on weather and the needs of our plants—specific details will be shared the week of the event. Volunteers should be comfortable walking, standing, squatting, and lifting up to 15 pounds. With advance notice, some seated tasks can be arranged. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone curious about native plants, eager to learn about local ecosystems, or simply looking to enjoy a nice morning outdoors.


Please bring/wear: Closed-toe shoes, water bottle, gardening gloves (we have some to share), and long handled shovels(we also have some to share).


All participants will fill out a waiver onsite 


Parking: You'll park and meet at the Welcome Center
