After a long winter, the children's garden beds at the Boerner Botanical Gardens need to be cleaned up and readied for our visiting students to use. The garden beds will need some general maintenance, like weeding, edging, and mulching. There is a hoophouse frame attached to one of the raised garden beds that will need to be dismantled. Finally, at least one of the garden beds will be planted with vegetable seeds to use as a learning garden for future students.

Please dress appropriately for working in a garden and for the weather.
Limited amounts of gardening gloves and gardening tools are available, you can bring your own tools if you wish.

We are the only licensed Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Butler County, PA and help over 400 animals every year. We are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization and need lots of help getting ready for the upcoming wildlife baby season. We need help getting the facility ready for all of the birds that will need our help. Our outdoor aviaries need a good bit of work this spring, the rehab room needs a top to bottom cleaning and our outdoor space needs attention so the native plants will thrive and produce seeds and berries for the birds that we release. Every little bit helps!

These dates are flexible - if you don't see something that works for you please let us know, we will work it out. THANK YOU!

MCES' annual Spring Fling event is a great opportunity for students, parents, community members, and teachers to celebrate spring with environmentally themed crafts, activities, healthy food, and the opportunity to improve our school grounds and garden. This year will be especially important as we have a new courtyard that the teachers really want to turn into an outdoor learning space. We all feel that students would greatly benefit from areas where they can experience nature with hands-on learning. During the event we will be building raised beds, laying a pathway, and planting new plants in the garden. We will also have an environmental craft activity and food so we can use all the help we can get!

The goal is to get Kohl's volunteer associates into a developing park in Ames, Iowa to plant trees. This will both improve the park and give the Kohl's volunteers a feeling of ownership/belonging in the park. The Volunteers will work with the Outdoor Alliance of Story County (OASCO) and Story County Conservation (SCC) to plant the trees. Volunteers need to come prepared for the weather with heavy duty walking/hiking shoes and working gloves. Sunscreen, insect repellent and eye protection are likely to be helpful.

Volunteer Horse Conditioning, Riding Schedule
Please join us in becoming a Volunteer or returning as a Volunteer! Whether you are an enthusiast with many years of horse experience, or this is your first time working with horses, your time with us is invaluable and appreciated!

As important as our horses are to the programs at WCR, just as important are the Horse Leaders! The horse leaders at WCR lead the horse and/or assist the client in controlling the horse during a lesson. The Horse Leader is focused on the horse to ensure the safety of the client, and helps maintain the horse's pace, calmness, and focus. This role is perfect for those that are familiar with horses, or who are interested in learning how to work with horses. Horse Leaders must attend an orientation and “Taking the Lead” training.
Volunteer training for this role is to ensure that everyone working with our horses and clients consistently use proper techniques. This attention to quality and consistency allows us to run safe programs and maintain the high standards we strive for as a PATH Intl. Center member.

We will spend time brushing, grooming, picking feet, and taking the horses for a walk to get back into “program mode”.
