Volunteers truly make all of Riveredge possible from one-time event support to regular help. Our volunteers are part of our Riveredge Family. It’s a great way to build new relationships, give back, and find a sense of purpose in a beautiful, one-of-a-kind natural setting.
11,000+
Hours of service are donated annually for education, land restoration, facilities upkeep, or environmental science projects. Volunteers who personally contribute 20 hours or more annually receive a free Riveredge individual membership as a small token of our thanks for their invaluable work.
