Volunteer workdays are held on Fridays from 1:00 - 4:00 pm at preserves within a short drive of Lafayette. No previous experience is necessary – just bring sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a willingness to get your hands a bit dirty. Seasonal conditions determine which species are ready to collect, making every outing a unique opportunity to learn about Indiana's remarkable native flora while contributing to meaningful conservation work.
