VOLUNTEER at HRT
Our 20-acre property presents a pressing need to remove invasive species that have taken root. With our level 1 arboretum status, we aim to create space for the resurgence of native species. Your physical efforts can play a crucial role in enhancing the natural beauty of the Rittenhouse village for all visitors.
Our amazing volunteer coordinator David Bower hosts volunteer days on Wednesdays 9 am – 12 noon
