Greetings Friends,
We’re inviting you, your friends and family out for a few volunteer opportunities to help prepare the ground and for tree planting…and we’re offering educational farm tours to folks who want see what we’re up to and be served lunch. FYI, you can accrue work trade towards several of our programs this year, and we always do tracking for those who need community service hours for school. Please share with others who may be interested. Looking forward to seeing you!

Food Forest and Grounds Development Volunteer Opportunities
Now through mid April 2009
Dates will be coordinated with other volunteers, let us know when you’re available for a day or more
Come help out with key projects during our winter weather of moist soil and comfortably warm days. We’re working on developing a food forest and the grounds. Experience is not required, yet volunteers should be strong of body and heart as the work is moderately heavy (involves digging, lifting, and earth moving). Join us for community dinner, enjoy a walk in the canyon, or sit by the pond after a good day’s work in the soil! Free of cost. Contact to learn more: Paul Swenson, paul (at) quailsprings.org or 805-886-7239.
Ask about options for Work trade towards our programs this year and/or Community service hours for school!
