If you would like to provide a valuable service to the Arboretum while walking or skiing the trails, the volunteer steward program is for you. The steward program offers volunteers a unique opportunity to educate visitors from a variety of backgrounds about the Arboretum while assisting staff in monitoring trail conditions and trail use. Bilingual English-Spanish and English-Hmong speakers are especially welcome. Opportunities are available to stewards for continuing education, with a focus on natural history and ecology. Each steward patrols the Arboretum four hours per month. Shifts are available year-round on a flexible basis after the initial training. Steward equipment is provided.   The next training session takes place March 8, March 14, April 18, and April 26 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 each day. The training is held at the Visitor Center and out on the grounds. Individuals must complete all four days of training before becoming stewards. Advance registration is required.   Contact Person: Judy Kingsbury, Volunteer Program Coordinator, (608) 262-5604
