Olympic National Park offers year-round volunteer activities. This month the Matt Albright Native Plant Nursery and the Boulder Creek Campground are looking for volunteers.
The Matt Albright Native Plant Nursery (at Robin Hill Farm County Park) and Wilderness Revegetation Crew seek volunteers to get their hands dirty packing plants, cleaning and sowing seeds and transporting seedlings. Regular drop-in volunteer hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesday.
