Quotes from volunteers:
"The time I have spent as a volunteer has been fascinating. It is amazing how many people from all over the world come to the Antelope Valley to view our state flower, the California Poppy and the many other native wildflowers that bloom at the Poppy Reserve."
Jim, volunteer for over 25 years

"I have volunteered at other places that were very enjoyable but demanded a huge time commitment. Here, I love that I’m constantly learning new facts about local plants and animals but it is also great that this commitment is only for 2 months every year and that I can choose the days I volunteer. I also love walking the trails and talking to all of our wonderful visitors."
Sandi, volunteer for 5 years
