work parties

If you are interested in volunteering, please read the following carefully to see if volunteering is a good fit for you before deciding to attend a work party.
​
-
Work parties will be announced via our newsletter and details will be shared there.
-
Volunteers must bring their own sun and weather protection, closed toe shoes, gloves, and water.
-
Volunteer tasks are often repetitive and involve squatting, kneeling, and lifting heavy objects. We will do our best to accommodate your physical ability, however the tasks we need help with are: weeding, raking, digging, wheelbarrowing and shoveling compost, soil or other materials, turning compost piles, helping with infrastructure like fencing, moving irrigation, and more. **The majority of the help we need is weeding, so if you don’t like weeding, this may not be the best fit for you.**
-
You will need to sign a liability waiver when you come to volunteer at the farm.
-
Please come to volunteer only on designated work party days/times.
-
Please contact Ellie Duncan at ellie.duncan@wwu.edu with questions or concerns.
