Youth Programs: Field Days |
Help inspire the next generation of nature lovers by volunteering with our Field Day Programs. You’ll assist with hands-on science exploration for local school classes.
How to Get Involved: -
Submit Your Preferences: Spots are first-come, first-served, so be sure to fill out your availability early.
- Get Confirmed: You’ll receive an initial email confirming your scheduled dates (plus any backup dates), followed by a final details reminder right before your Field Day.
Course Credit: If you need volunteer hours for a class (like WANAT), you’ll receive priority scheduling as long as you submit your availability promptly. |
We have few available spots remaining for volunteering. Please check the list (even if you already have) and sign up for any that have space. If you want to be a back-up in case a volunteer can't make it, please check a full date and we will reach out if needed. |

Spooky Stroll and Moonlit Skies
Sunday, October 25th 5:30PM-8:30PM |
We’re looking for a few enthusiastic volunteers (1–4 people) to help make our upcoming spooky night on Sunday, October 25 a haunt-tastic success!
Volunteers will be needed from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM (the event runs from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM) to help with: - Potions masters (hot cocoa servers)
-
Crafty Conjurers: Help setup and supervise kids (with their adults!) making some crafts including astronomy star charts, moon flip books, flying bats, and galaxy slime!
-
Wandering Wizards: Attend our "spooky stroll" as a "sweep", hike at the back of the group led by a WRI educator. Keep the group together, welcome families, chat with those at the back, etc. This will be a slow mosey around the WRI campus and does not require you to be at the event the entire time.
No spooky experience required—just bring your enthusiasm and love for the outdoors and working with kids! If you're interested in helping out, please email Virginia. |

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Nature Menders or the Cascade Garden Club work parties! Thanks to your hard work, our campus continued to thrive right through the heat of the summer. We have plenty more opportunities around the corner! Looking ahead to fall, we are excited to bring back several popular campus projects: -
Bumblebee Habitat Restoration Days: Help establish native species across campus, which includes planting and mulching.
-
Make a Difference Day: Help us prepare for a biochar day by collecting and moving material to burn at a later date. Come out and help on Saturday, October 24, 2026 between 9:AM-1:00PM!
-
Storm Cleanup Day (TBD): Clearing brush and debris remaining from last December's storm. For this workday, we will especially need volunteers with chainsaws and experience in tree removal!
Keep an eye on our volunteer page for upcoming opportunities to get your hands dirty! We will be posting specific dates and registration details as soon as they are locked in. |
