Extension Master Gardeners, Master Naturalists, and interns are invited to a special Volunteer Fair celebrating the work of our Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists!  Current volunteers are invited to showcase their projects, share stories, and connect with new interns eager to learn from their experience. Whether you're involved in community gardens, habitat restoration, education, or outreach, your insights can help inspire the next wave of environmental stewards.

For new interns and existing volunteers alike, this is your chance to explore the many ways you can get involved! Meet other volunteers, discover local opportunities, and find the projects that align with your passions. The Volunteer Fair is a space to ask questions, build connections, and begin your journey as a Master Gardener or Master Naturalist. 

Please bring a snack to share!  We look forward to seeing you there!

Project Leaders:

If you would like to present your project as a volunteer option, there are a few ways you can do that.

  1. If you attend in person, you are welcome to say a few words about the project and how to get involved.
  2. You can also bring photos and a sign-up sheet to have at a table to discuss with potential volunteers directly.
  3. Send me the info for your project and we will present on your behalf!

Please email Ainsley Olsen and let her know what your intention is and she will assist in making it available to all the Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists. 

All projects should provide the following information to the group:

  1. Project Name
  2. Project Location & Supporting Partner
  3. Address
  4. Scheduled Workdays/Season
  5. Contact method for the team
