Volunteers are the backbone of the PCA. Our volunteers maintain the trail and gardens and put on recreational, educational and fundraising events. Volunteering with the PCA is a mutually beneficial relationship! Our volunteers say it's a great way to:

​

• meet new people and socialize with friends

• stay physically and mentally active

• learn about stewardship, ecology and biology of flora and fauna

• learn new skills

• give back to the community

​

There are countless ways volunteers can get involved at the PCA, we'd love to put your expertise to work! Please fill out our Volunteer Interest Form if you'd like to join one of our volunteer teams or have other skills to contribute.
