Where you get your hands dirty.
Volunteers help maintain and beautify the grounds at the Arboretum through Dig in the Dirt days (Tuesday mornings) and our Adopt-a-Collection program (on their own schedule, after completing training).
Church youth groups, corporations, high schools and other community organizations are invited to participate in a volunteer project. When your entire group gets involved, everyone has fun working together! Plan your next volunteer outing at the Boone County Arboretum.
Through the years, many Boy and Girl Scout Troops have participated in service days at the Arboretum. As these young men and women help beautify the grounds, they are learning the value of service to their community, and the importance of public horticulture.
Volunteers help with the planning, construction, and utilization of special highlight areas throughout the Arboretum, assist with the planning or implementation of events and programs, or volunteers who have backgrounds in education or horticulture help the Arboretum staff in our classes and tours.
