Volunteer

​Since the arboretum's beginning, countless volunteers and sponsors have been instrumental in its development and growth from an abandoned farmstead into a treasured collection of gardens and wooded nature area, whose remarkable beauty continually attracts visitors from around the state and beyond.
Volunteer Opportunities:

Want to meet new people, have fun and do something interesting? Consider becoming a volunteer at the East Texas Arboretum! Arboretum volunteers come from all over, bringing their unique interests, skills, knowledge and experiences. When you volunteer at the arboretum, you receive the satisfaction of making a positive contribution to the growth of YOUR arboretum!  

You don't have to be an aborist or plant expert to qualify either. There's a place for everyone! Your unique talents and skills will be welcome and appreciated! Clubs and organizations are welcome, too!  So, come on down or call the East Texas Arboretum—we'll find a place for you!
If you would like to become an arboretum volunteer, please call us directly at 903-675-5630.
* NOTE: Texas law now states that all activities involving children requires volunteers to pass a criminal background check.
