Volunteer
Get Your Hands Dirty and Feet Wet!
Arundel Rivers is able to advance our mission because the people who live, work, and play on the South, West, and Rhode Rivers strive to protect and restore these natural treasures.
Our Volunteering Philosophy.
At Arundel Rivers, we want our community members to love our watersheds as much as we do. Our volunteer philosophy is to empower community members of all ages and abilities to do one good thing: plant a tree, sow a seed, monitor a site, reach out to a neighbor.
We want to help every interested individual do volunteer activities that speak to their passions and abilities. Do you have an idea for how we can make volunteering more accessible? Do you have a tool, place, or activity that helps you engage with our watersheds? Let us know by emailing mairin@arundelrivers.org.

If you would like to volunteer with Arundel Rivers Federation, please fill out the above form. We will send out regular volunteer alerts during the warmer months. We're always looking to match folks with the right volunteer activity, whether that is one of our set programs, like seasonal bacterial monitoring, or one-off opportunities, like an invasive removal day.
