Restoration Work Parties at UW Arboretum

Join the UW Arboretum the first four Saturdays of every month as they work to create and manage healthy native plant communities. These weekly drop-in parties are a great way to help the environment and make new friends along the way.

Volunteers from all background and experience levels are welcome. Children ages 12 to 17 are welcome with a parent or guardian present.

Work parties are 9 a.m.–12 p.m. on the first four Saturday mornings each month, April through December. Locations rotate during the month as follows:

• First Saturday: Wingra Oak Savanna. Meet at the Arbor Drive parking lot, off Monroe Street.
• Second Saturday: Core Area and Curtis Prairie. Meet at the Visitor Center.
• Third Saturday: Grady Tract. Meet at the Grady Tract parking lot, southeast corner of Seminole Highway and W. Beltline Frontage Road.
• Fourth Saturday: Core Area and Curtis Prairie. Meet at the Visitor Center.
• There are no work parties on the fifth Saturday in a month.
