Want to get involved with SER-UW?
The Society for Ecological Restoration UW offers a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the school year! If you are interested in gaining hands on experience working with vegetation or if you need extra credits for a UW class, this is the page for you. You do not need ANY restoration experience in order to volunteer with us! Simply register for the event ahead of time at the associated links and bring working clothes that you can get dirty.
Students managing restoration sites on campus frequently host work parties throughout the quarter. Common activities for volunteers working on student sites on campus include outdoor work, removing invasive species of plants, installing trails, benches, or signs, planting trees and other plants, recording species of plants or wildlife on the site, and other miscellaneous tasks. Check the calendar for posted volunteer opportunities or reach out to seruw@uw.edu for more information about students who are in charge of restoration sites on campus!
The SER-UW Nursery hosts work parties also and you can find their website here. Common activities for volunteers at the nursery include greenhouse maintenance, watering plants, planting seeds, putting plants into bigger pots, weeding, and other simple plant maintenance activities. They also host interns each quarter so consider that if you want to be even more involved. You can ask the Nursery Manager questions at the sernursery@uw.edu.
