Volunteer at the Intervale Conservation Nursery! The Intervale Conservation Nursery was founded in 2002 and is dedicated to growing native, locally sourced trees and shrubs for riparian (streamside) restoration projects throughout Vermont. Our plants are grown in an ecologically-sound manner without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. The Nursery works with landowners, farmers, watershed organizations and government agencies to restore and protect Vermont’s waters. With this volunteering opportunity, tasks tend to range from weeding amongst the young trees to transplanting trees into the fields. It’s very hands on!

Volunteers should dress for the weather, bring good closed-toe shoes, and be prepared to get a little dirty. Bring a water bottle to keep hydrated. The production field can be very buggy, and we recommend long sleeves and pants to protect yourself from mosquitoes! The Intervale Center will provide gloves and any tools you may need. Please be aware that this activity involves a lot of kneeling and standing.

Details coming soon! Sign up starting October 9.
