The Ecosystem Farm Volunteer Day offers a unique outdoor learning experience for those who wish to get their hands dirty and learn about work on an organic farm operation. Volunteer each month on the third Thursday during the harvest season and work side-by-side with farm staff to learn about sustainable agricultural practices. Please wear appropriate clothing including closed-toe shoes, work gloves, hat or sunscreen, and bring your water bottle. Volunteers will meet and orient at the Visitor’s Center and take a .25 mile walking tour along Pumpkin Ash trail, offering scenic views of the Potomac River, to the farm site.

Pre-registration is required. For more information, or to schedule a group volunteering activity, contact the volunteer coordinator at volunteers@accokeek.org.
