Volunteer Events & Programs

Join us Wednesday for fresh air, good vibes, and a little garden therapy. No experience needed — just show up ready to get your hands dirty and help cultivate our living campus.

Locations will vary so be sure to pre-register so we know you're coming!

Weed Warriors on Campus is a volunteer event for UMD students, faculty, staff, and community members that hosts educational invasive species removal events. We meet on Saturday mornings when the spring and fall semesters are in session, weather permitting. During cold months, please wear appropriate warm outdoor clothing. During hot months, please wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and bring water to drink. Hats are always a good idea. 

UMD faculty, and staff are invited to join the UMD Arboretum and Botanical Gardens and the Office of Sustainability in learning how to use campus as a living classroom! This guided tour during the start of spring colors will provide you the space to connect with others across the university and learn how to incorporate UMD's landscape and plants into the work that you do.
