A background check is required for this OSMP volunteer assignment. 

Report hours on a regular basis, share information, and provide program evaluations and suggestions. Abide by OSMP rules and regulations and set an example for all. 

Training is provided in the field by seasoned staff and volunteers.  Volunteers are identified by an OSMP name badge, t-shirt and/or hat.

Desired qualifications: Interest in/or knowledge of gardening, horticulture or landscape design. * Desire to learn about and care for native plants. * Willing to learn to use applicable tools and hand equipment. Ability to bend, stoop and lift. * Desire to work outdoors. * Dependable; flexible; good communication skills. * Able to work independently, and as part of a team. * Desire to help the environment while enjoying it! Benefits: * Be part of a team, sharing your appreciation of Open Space and Mountain Parks with others. * Help the environment, while enjoying healthy fun. 

The Native Garden Team will try to set a weekly morning to meet up and work, though independent work is sometimes fine as well. Volunteers are asked to always bring extra water, dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes or boots, and if you bring favorite tools or gloves, mark them clearly!

Time Commitment:

2 to 4 hours per month
