| VOLUNTEERS |
Volunteers are needed at the 35-acre Orange County Arboretum
to serve as docents, guides and gardeners.
The hands-on gardening program is great for gardeners that enjoy
working along with their friends while helping the horticulture
staff with special gardening projects and daily up-keep.
This is a new volunteer program in cooperation with Retired
and Senior Volunteer Program sponsored by the Orange County
Office for the Aging with funding provided by the County of
Orange, The Corporation for National and Community Service and
The New York Office for the Aging.
The former pasturelands and wooded areas are an environmental
resource for learning about plant life and nature. It is a living
laboratory to study various species, and a green sanctuary to
escape the stresses of everyday life.
The program begins in the spring and all volunteers will be
required to attend a mini-work shop that features pruning, planting
and general garden care are given before the season begins.
