Don't want to be a Docent? We need volunteers to keep the Plankhouse in good repair and help with projects such as naturalist walks with school groups, special events, and to serve on our Committee. We need fund raisers, event organizers, and Friends of all descriptions! Meet people who are interested in the things that interest you.
