Thank you for supporting our fall native sale! The sale is our largest fundraiser and we simply couldn't do it without you!
Tuesday shifts: Volunteers will help "unloaders" find the right location for trees, count the tree #'s and make sure the sections are organized in lines. This position involves walking and some bending over but no carrying.
On Tuesday the trees will arrive at the barn from the supplier at approximately 8:00am. After we unload the trees (~ 1 hour), the truck returns to the nursery and picks up the second load. The second delivery usually occurs around noon. We unload the second delivery, organize species, and "pull" large orders and group them by customer.
We typically get more details about delivery timing the week before or early that week. Things can change based on the # of trees ordered and the nursery delivery vehicles. We will communicate any adjustments to this schedule via email as soon as we have them. We appreciate your flexibility and are thankful for your support.
Thursday/Friday shifts: Customers come to the barn to pick up their orders. Volunteers in this role will find the customers order sheet and complete other paperwork/coordination tasks. This position will be seated and involve limited walking.
Volunteers get first dibs and a discount code on remaining plants the week of October 5th.
There will be a volunteer training at the beginning of each shift. Please feel free to sign up for multiple shifts!
Snacks and water will be provided. Restrooms are available.
