Community Volunteer Program

CBWCD_Programs-and-Events-2

For Adults And Youth 13 And Over With Guardian

Help us care for and expand our California native plantings by working with our team in the park and demonstration garden at our headquarters in Montclair. Volunteer days include a brief talk about what is going on in the landscape during the time of year, an introduction and demonstration showing the day’s landscape-care activities, such as weeding, pruning, mulching, hand watering, and occasionally planting, and more. With your help, we can reinvigorate the land while increasing the habitat for local birds, butterflies, and pollinators, all of which help make this an even more special place for the community to enjoy and find inspiration. We look forward to working alongside you!

Volunteer days take place on the 1st Saturday of most months from 9:00 a.m. to noon. You aren’t required to stay the full 3 hours if you need to leave early, but please try to arrive prior to 9:00 a.m. to participate in the orientation and tutorial part of the day.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old or 13 to 17 years old and accompanied by a parent or guardian who will also be actively participating.

Everyone will be asked to sign a liability waiver online or in person on their first day volunteering. 

We meet in the native landscape area west of the parking lot. You will be able to see us from the lot.
