Volunteer

The UCF Arboretum offers a variety of volunteer opportunities. Both individual and group volunteering is available. Help in the community garden, assist with horticultural work in campus landscapes or in our campus natural lands. Come out and get your feet wet, your hands dirty, and your knowledge expanded, as you learn more about gardening, landscaping, or natural lands management!
