Welcome to the Coconino County Master Gardeners Association

The Coconino Master Gardener Association began in 2009 to create a corps of well-informed volunteers, and to deliver quality horticultural education programs adapted to our regional high elevation environment. The association provides support for Master Gardener graduates and volunteers as well as continuing education and opportunities to participate in community programs that increase the visibility and participation in the Master Gardener Program.

Spring Volunteering at the Arboretum

 Looking for an opportunity to volunteer? Here is a note from the Arboretum's director. I have also added a link for the volunteer application and Covid 19 protocols.

Happy Spring Volunteers!

 

Below you will find some up and coming volunteer opportunities at The Arboretum. But before you get too revved up…here are a few general requests.

 

COVID-19 Pre-cautions: We are so excited to have you back, but we do request that everyone still practice social distancing when possible and wear a mask when in close contact with others or when indoors. Thank you for keeping The Arb a safe place to relax and enjoy! Our official policy is also attached.

 

If you are new to volunteering, please fill out the attached volunteer form and return to me at: Kristin.Haskins@thearb.org or you can snail mail it in to this address: The Arboretum at Flagstaff, 4001 S. Woody Mountain Rd., Flagstaff, AZ 86005. Attn: Kristin Haskins, or you can deliver it in person the first time you come out!

 

We ask that each of you fill out a volunteer time sheet so we can give credit where credit is due at the end of the season. Your volunteer hours are important for us to track and record for various granting agencies. Volunteer log-in books can be found in the Hort Center and at the front desk of the Visitor Center. If you begin volunteering before we open, please keep track of your hours on the attached spreadsheet.

 

I have also attached our 2021 COVID-19 Policy.

 

With appreciation,
Kris Haskins, Executive Director
