Volunteering at IJAMS Nature Center

  • Ijams Nature Center 2915 Island Home Avenue Knoxville, TN, 37920 United States (map)

Volunteer with YPK by removing invasive species with the Ijams Natural Resource Management team! You'll learn to identify invasive plant species and be trained in removal/control techniques. We'll learn at a lot about the plants around us while also getting to know your fellow YPK members!

PLEASE ALSO REGISTER VIA IJAMS GIVEPULSE: https://www.givepulse.com/event/563660

This is rain or shine, labor-intensive work, and volunteers typically get dirty, but the result is very rewarding. Gloves and tools will be provided. Please wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts (protection from thorns and poison ivy). Bring water and bug spray!

PARKING: Park at the Meads Quarry main or overflow parking lot. QR Code will be given to receive free parking while you are volunteering - To make things quicker, please register your vehicle at https://app.metropolis.io/sign-in
