Joining a volunteer team is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get involved in Food Forest. No previous experience is necessary, and we’ll give you all the tools and training you need to get started. For your safety, please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.
Tasks depend on time of year and the condition of the park, but are generally like this:
