MEMBER VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The Mountain Laurel Chapter is a member-driven, volunteer arm of Wild Ones in CT.  Please consider how you can use your skills and creativity to help the chapter better serve its members and the public at large:

  • COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:  Help staff a Wild Ones information table at environmental fairs, pollinator- and nature-themed festivals, Plant Science Day and other events. We can also supply Wild Ones literature and chapter/ecoregion-specific information if you do outreach in your own neighborhood or community.
  • COMMUNICATIONS:  Help to integrate our website and mass emailing.  Share our news and activities through traditional print and digital (social) media platforms.  Help us stay connected with like-minded organizations across Connecticut.
  • PHOTOGRAPHY:  A good picture is worth a thousand words.  If you have good photos from our events, we would love for you to share them via email or Facebook. 
  • DONATE PLANTS:  If you propagate native plants from seed or have surplus plants from your garden, consider setting some aside for donation to our Fall Native Plant sale.
  • FALL PLANT SALE:  Many volunteers will be needed to help set up and staff our Fall Native Plant Sale in September.  We’ll have signups as the date gets closer.
  • HABITAT IMPACT:  In addition to being a good steward of your own property, help to establish or maintain habitat gardens in your community by removing invasive plants and replacing non-natives with native plants for beauty and ecological function.  Contact us to learn about projects that are seeking volunteers.
  • CHAPTER OPERATIONS:  Interested in helping but not sure how?  Speak with a Board member or attend a Board meeting to learn how our chapter is run.
