Green Spring Gardens – Volunteers Needed

Green Spring Gardens, a Fairfax County Park Authority park, is looking for additional volunteers starting with the upcoming season.

Green Spring provides field trips for kids from PreK-4th grade on weekdays in the spring and fall. Field trips include fascinating topics like Metamorphosis and More, Soil Secrets, Fantastic Flora and Fauna, Virginia Ecosystems and others. Volunteers lead nature walks or attend stations that focus on topics such as Botany Lab, Water Cycle Station, Food Web, Animal Adaptations, Soil Lab, and more. FMN volunteers can log at least 2 hours per field trip. Any necessary training will be provided.

Green Spring Gardens will host field trip information sessions and trainings on February 18, 19 and 20 from 10-12:30 at Green Spring Gardens. It is only necessary to attend one session, but you are welcome to come to as many as you’d like.
Volunteers can log hours in Better Impact using code E110 FCPA Educational Nature Programs – Fairfax County Park Authority.

Please contact Pam Smith at [email protected] to learn more about the various opportunities and sign up for February training.
