Become Engaged
As we “re-open” in 2023-24 , we need docents. We invite you who have maximum passion and even a few hours a month (or more, as you like) to represent the Rachel Carson Homestead, Rachel’s legacy and messages both on-site in Springdale, and through personal outreach.
Please help us build the RCHA committees of your choice – house restoration, house maintenance, landscape and hardscape inventory, planning, design and maintenance, administration – semi-technical and non-technical, fund-raising and development, publicity – all the components for good business processes and building the site into a well-recognized destination.
Volunteer groups are needed to help with maintenance, and especially now, with “recovering” the grounds.
Please contact us for more information – email Info @ RachelCarsonHomestead.org
