VOLUNTEER
We couldn't do what we do without the helping hands that assist us along the way. Volunteering is a wonderful way to contribute to the health and well-being of the borderlands and help support the work of Borderlands Restoration Network! See below for our regular volunteer opportunities and be sure to sign-up on our volunteer list to be notified when a special project comes up!
NURSERY VOLUNTEER
Tuesdays & Thursdays: 9 AM - Noon, year-round
​Spend your morning at the BRN Native Plant Nursery with a great group of plant lovers propagating native plants. Bring water, and be prepared to get your hands in the dirt and ready for some outdoor work.
Contact ​horticulture@borderlandsrestoration.org to sign up.
SEED LAB VOLUNTEER
​Mondays: 9 AM - Noon
​
Join us at the BRN Seed Lab for a morning of seed lab activities! Help us clean the native seeds that we have collected from the area and be part of the restoration process, as well as help with germination testing, seed sowing, seed packing, seed pelletization, and more.
Please bring a mask for respiratory protection as the work can be dusty, ​water/snacks, and a long-sleeved over shirt to protect from dust irritation. Seed cleaning is all indoors, with outdoor options.
​Contact horticulture@borderlandsrestoration.org to sign up.
CREATURES OF THE NIGHT: 3RD ANNUAL ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION SUMMIT VOLUNTEERS
​September 22 - 27, 2025
​​
Diamond Mountain Retreat Center
​​
Volunteer at the 3rd Annual Ecological Restoration Summit hosted by Sky Harvest in Bowie, AZ!
​
This year’s summit volunteers will create habitat for the endangered Mexican long-nosed bat by planting 160 agaves, provided by Borderlands Restoration Network and Bat Conservation International; we’ll plant a bat garden to support these vital nighttime pollinators. Strengthening their habitat helps the entire desert ecosystem thrive.
​
Our guest speakers will present on bats, nighttime pollinators, nocturnal animals, and the habitats they need to survive.​
