Arboretum Volunteers

The Arboretum depends on its volunteers to help us be one of the most beautiful destinations in metropolitan Kansas City. There are a variety of options available to potential volunteers. Opportunities include:

• Gardening, weeding, planting, and general maintenance
• Greeting guests
• Prairie restoration
• Educating guests, guiding tours, and hosting field trips
• Arboretum outreach at external events
• Helping with seasonal activities and educational events
• Assisting with weddings and rental events
• Instruction of special interests topics, including photography, birdwatching, geocaching, art and more.

Volunteers do not need prior knowledge, only a desire to learn.
