Volunteer Details

Individuals and groups are welcome! If your group has more than 10 volunteers, please email us at [email protected].

Events start promptly at 8:00 AM, so please arrive a little early for registration.

What to Bring & What We Provide

RUFF will supply tools, gloves, and masks for all volunteers. Please wear appropriate clothing—the area may be wet and muddy from spring rains.

We’ll have light refreshments and a water cooler available. We recommend bringing your own water bottle, as the water station may be a short walk from your work area.

For safety, we strongly recommend wearing a mask while working with mulch to avoid inhaling airborne spores or dust particles.

Weather Policy

If an event needs to be canceled due to weather, RUFF will notify volunteers by the Friday before the event. Light rain usually won’t stop us, but the City of Roseville will make decisions based on safety.

Mulch is Magic!

Mulch benefits your plants by smothering weeds, inviting helpful earthworms to move in, regulating soil temperature, retaining moisture, providing nutrients, and preventing erosion.
