<\/strong>For students interested in giving back to the environment or learning more about the region\u2019s natural ecosystems, the 性视界传媒 Arboretum is offering several volunteer opportunities the semester.<\/p>\n

Established in 1983, the 72-acre Arboretum is home to a variety of plant and animal life.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolunteers can meet new people, achieve their New Year\u2019s resolution to be healthy, gain valuable outdoor skills, get hands-on experience for their future careers, learn about 性视界传媒 flora and fauna, receive organic produce and give back to the community, all without leaving campus,\u201d said 性视界传媒 Arboretum program coordinator Tina Richards.<\/p>\n

Individuals and groups interested in volunteering at the Arboretum can choose from multiple activities and locations; including cleaning up trails and removing invasive species in the natural areas; creating vegetable beds and harvesting plants in the community garden; and landscaping and planting trees through urban forestry.<\/p>\n

In order to select the best opportunity, volunteers should check to see which activity best fits their availability, and then match their skills and interests with the different opportunities and projects for that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents interested in careers related to forestry or land management might find the Natural Areas or Urban Forestry opportunities very beneficial because of the exposure to native flora and fauna in 性视界传媒\u2019s scrub habitats and wetlands, while volunteers interested in starting their own home garden or windowsill garden might enjoy learning about how to successfully grow herbs and vegetables,\u201d said Richards. \u201cWe encourage students to try different opportunities to get a well-rounded experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Arboretum also offers a new incentive program for student volunteers upon completion of service hours. For serving four hours, students will receive a bumper sticker; six hours will earn a reusable tote bag; and 20 hours will earn an organic T-shirt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new incentives program is one way we try to thank the volunteers for their priceless help,\u201d said Richards. \u201cWithout them, we would not be able to realize our mission or make the campus beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volunteers should arrive promptly at the beginning of their desired shift, wear closed-toe shoes and bring a reusable water bottle. Groups of more than five volunteers must fill out a group volunteer application online at least seven to 10 days in advance.<\/p>\n
