When you volunteer, everybody wins!


Happy, healthy volunteers after a morning of plant sale bundling!

You may have heard the news that volunteering is actually good for your health.  I looked into this, and... Yes! It's true!  A study released in 2007 revealed that among other health benefits, volunteering "leads to greater life satisfaction and lower rates of depression."  So, how about it?  Come and volunteer with us this spring!



Our Native Plant Sale Bundling event is just around the corner and we could really use your help!

Saturday, March 24th
9am-2pm

We have over 6,000 mostly bareroot plants (see picture at right) that need to be consolidated according to customers’ orders.  It’ll be quite the feat, and many hands make light work!

 

Our two Plant Sale Distribution days will soon follow:

Saturday, March 31st
9:30am-1pm
and
Saturday, April 14th
9:30am-1pm

Customers will be picking up their orders.  We will need help directing traffic (both car and on foot) and sorting and loading up orders.

 

 
Please contact our office at (509)664-9370 or cascadiacd@yahoo.com for more information and to sign-up for these volunteer events.  You can even request to be added to our volunteer list, so you can get notices of upcoming events sent directly to your inbox!

We hope to see you this spring!

 Thank you for reading!

Your Friend in Conservation,
