Volunteer at Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit botanical garden, Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens relies on the passion and dedication of our local community. Volunteering inside our 100-year-old limestone quarry is a rewarding way to learn about Florida conservation, meet new friends, and help us maintain our 20-acre sanctuary.
