Volunteer to care for Hoyt Arboretum’s trees and trails with the Saturday Crew! With 189-acres and more than 6,000 trees along 12 miles of trails, volunteers are incredibly important to maintaining Hoyt Arboretum’s tree collection and trail system, and it’s a unique opportunity for volunteers to learn about and care for rare and unusual trees and plants from around the world.
Stewardship crews occur rain or shine; volunteers should come dressed for the weather including long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
Volunteers should plan to bring water, snacks, and any other personal items they need onsite.
No previous stewardship crew experience is required; training, tools, gloves, and volunteer parking passes are provided. Registration is required.
Please meet in the maintenance yard located behind the Visitor Center.
Links to register for each Saturday Crew date can be found on our Stewardship webpage. We ask that all volunteers register beforehand through our website. Please email if you have any questions.
