Volunteers

Volunteers are a key part of our mission at Reeves-Reed Arboretum.  In 2011, volunteers gave over 1600 hours of service at the Arboretum!  We welcome newcomers to the area as well as those just discovering the Arboretum, experienced gardeners and those willing to learn.  Students fulfilling community service hours, retirees, and clubs as well as friends, all are welcome.  Seasonal as well as year round projects are available.

Contact Lisa Martin at (908) 273-8787 ext. 2222 or l.martin@reeves-reedarboretum.org  to find out more about volunteering.  Or complete and return the volunteer form from our brochure.
