Let your experience shape the Arboretum!

We're looking for volunteers to serve on committees focused on education, site improvements, fundraising, and financial management. Most committees meet once a month, and we're looking for volunteers who can commit to a year or more.

We are also always on the lookout for qualified board members. If you have a passion for Mount Pisgah and experience in business or non-profit management, environmental education, fundraising, natural resource management or other skills that would help guide our organization, we'd love to hear from you!  Board members meet once a month and serve three-year terms.

Share your vision and help steer the Arboretum to a healthy future! Contact Katura Reynolds at (541) 747-3817 for more details on how you can get involved.
