Volunteers

The Forest Society has relied on volunteers to foster its conservation efforts since its founding in 1901. At The Rocks, we are grateful for a dedicated corps of volunteers who help us carry out our mission of land stewardship and conservation education at this important Forest Society property.

On the weekends ranging from prior to Thanksgiving to near Christmas, we are looking for volunteers to support the retail sales and improving the visitor experience at The Rocks.

Volunteers should be able to weather the elements on colds days, remain full of holiday cheer, and able to support the customer service process. Sales doors open at 10am and close at 4pm. Volunteers will need to plan to arrive around 9am to be trained for their supporting role for the day and remain for the duration of the day.

The questions in the sign up form will help us match you with your supporting role for the date(s) you choose to join us.

Possible volunteer roles include: Parking Attendant, Tree Baler Assistant, Fire Pit Tender, Receipt Checker, Guest Support (kid craft, hot chocolate, retail area)

Additional Volunteer Opportunities at The Rocks

Our volunteers range from folks who spend a few hours each year loading Christmas trees onto cars to people who donate many hours leading school programs or acting as docents during our popular Maple Tours and Christmastime wagon rides.
