Weekly Garden Work Parties, Thursdays
Every Thursday, beginning May 4, we will convene at 9 am to work together in the garden. Work can be tailored to fit your skills, interests, and mobility. At 12:30 we’ll share a simple lunch of soup and salad. We may resume work after lunch as needed, but feel free to come and go whenever works for you.
Trail Work Days, every second Saturday
Join us for trail work days every second Saturday of the month, beginning May 13. We will work from 10 am to 12:30 or 1, then share lunch together. Soup and salad will be provided. Work will include pruning, clearing debris, re-grading trails, removing invasive species, and more. Work can be tailored to fit your skills, interests, and mobility to the extent possible. If you have them, please bring hand pruners, loppers, a pruning saw, and gloves. We have extras if needed. Also, be sure to wear protective footwear and sun protection, and bring plenty of water.
Event Outreach
We are seeking a volunteer for occasional but ongoing outreach work. You’ll work with Communications Manager Marnie Jackson to copy information about some upcoming events from our website to local community calendars. Requires basic computer knowledge, and can be performed in our offices or from your own home.
Updating Signage
Work with Communications Manager Marnie Jackson to gather outdated printed signage from around our facilities and campus; type new versions using brand fonts and guidelines; and print and display new materials. Involves some walking; some computer work; some time in the Whidbey Institute offices using our printer, our laminator, and either our computers or your own.
