BONUS WORK DAYS: POND

Fee: Free.
More information and to register: Advance registration is encouraged. Click here to register online. Work days are weather-dependent. If you have registered in advance, we will contact you if we are canceling due to inclement weather.

Join the Lynden land team—Robert Kaleta, Alyx Christensen and Esther Portnoy--for a volunteer work day (or three) on the grounds. Each year, we drain Little Lake, a shallow, man-made pond, to prepare it for one of our most popular summer camps, Pond Voyage. Little Lake is home to waterfowl and a substantial algae population. If you have an interest in the algae for your papermaking or compost, or if you’d just like to lend us a hand, we will be raking out algae (wet and dry) daily from July 1-3. Pack your rubber boots and bushel baskets (if you want to take some home) and bring along a pitchfork if you have one. Snacks and water will be provided.

Land Stewardship at Lynden

The Lynden Sculpture Garden is transforming its natural habitats and formal landscapes into sustainable and diverse ecosystems that highlight their natural beauty. Our goal is to steward healthy habitats for an array of native plants and wildlife while adding a vibrant mosaic of color and texture to this sculptural landscape through every season. With over 40 acres and more than half a dozen specialized garden spaces, the Lynden provides many volunteer and learning opportunities, from removing invasive species to planting new trees and plugs, weeding, pruning, collecting, and spreading seeds. With a small land staff, volunteer help is essential to the evolution and restoration of the Lynden grounds.
