Join a New Crew at the Horn Farm!
Restoring land and reviving ecosystems takes time and a team. That’s why the Horn Farm Center is bringing together our core values of community and education through a new, dedicated volunteer program that offers more ways for our community to engage with nature and regenerative land stewardship. Through the Horn Farm Community Crew program, volunteers will be able to train with Horn Farm staff and play a key role in specialized projects focused on ecological restoration and bolstering our wild areas: healing the land and our relationship to it.
Perks of membership include ongoing training and education with experienced staff, a free t-shirt, volunteer social events, and the ability to log hours spent volunteering to redeem free class vouchers / other perks.
Over time, we see this program as another way to cultivate a vibrant network of earth stewards dedicated to helping nature thrive! By learning and tending together at the Horn Farm Center, members can take the skills and experiences of land-based volunteering home and further spread the knowledge, determination, and confidence that our communities need to bring ourselves back into balance with nature.
You can learn more about this new volunteer initiative by visiting the link below and signing up for our first training day on Sunday, May 21st!
