Horticulture Volunteers

Volunteers are vitally important to the Zoo. Some people love to interact with the public and educate them about the animals and the Zoo's conservation programs. Some love to garden and donate their time to the ongoing landscaping efforts. Whatever you love to do, we can put your time and talents to good use!

Horticulture volunteers work with our Horticulture staff on the daily requirements of park maintenance and assist with landscape management and habitat restoration projects. Horticulture Volunteer positions are for candidates age 18 and over.

WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW HORTICULTURE VOLUNTEERS AT THIS TIME.
