Volunteer Opportunities with the American Conifer Society

As passionate members of the American Conifer Society, you already know the value of connecting with fellow enthusiasts and expanding your knowledge of these remarkable plants. We’re excited to present you with an opportunity to take your involvement to the next level through volunteering with the ACS!

Committee Involvement:

The heart of any organization lies within its committees, and the ACS is no exception. We have several committees in need of dedicated volunteers, including the Conifer Quarterly Advisory Committee, Conifer Database entry personnel, Marketing Committee, and Publicity Committee, as well as website and social media contributors. Your expertise and passion could greatly contribute to our success of these areas.  

Under the guidance of our Reference Garden Chair, volunteers have the chance to participate in the assessment and support of reference gardens—an invaluable resource for conifer enthusiasts worldwide.

Regional Leadership Opportunities:

Our regional officers, including Presidents, Vice Presidents, Directors, Secretaries, Newsletter Editors, and Treasurers, play a pivotal role in shaping the ACS at the grassroots level. If you're passionate about representing your region and advancing the ACS mission locally, consider volunteering for a leadership position.
