“MDLT’s ongoing accomplishments are made visible and only ever reachable with the hands and minds of our volunteers. Whether you are new or seasoned, whether it be twice a year or twice a week - time is irreplaceable and your donation of time is valued. We thank you for every seed you’ve cleaned, every weed you’ve pulled, every plant you’ve questioned about and every suggestion you’ve made to improve where we were to bring us to where we are today.”

— Lenna Pettersson, Nursery Manager

“The work that MDLT volunteers carry out is critical to our mission at every turn. While daunting mountains of tasks may form between us and our goals, we are safely led across the valley of accomplishment and triumph by the hands of our volunteers. With them, the impossible becomes possible. The unthinkable becomes our playground. The sun rises again for us to greet with excitement and anticipation. Through the donation of time, expertise, encouragement, and curiosity, volunteers help us look forward to a brighter future and look back fondly at what we have already achieved. Thank you to the teachers, veterans, mechanics, artists, chefs, nurses, travelers, and concerned individuals who have banded together with us to protect and conserve this place we call haven and home.”
