Reporting Volunteer Hours
Volunteers must sign in upon arrival each time they volunteer in order for time records to be maintained properly. This is very important for Mass Hort, not only so we can show our appreciation to our volunteers, but also because the data is needed for grant applications.

If you have done volunteer work and did not sign in, you may send an email with your name, date, location, task, and how many hours you put in.  The address is This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
