Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Download or read book Recommendations for Remodeling a Public Horticulture Volunteer Program Based Upon Current Trends and Practices written by Terry Alan Boudreau (Jr) and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volunteers are an essential component to the workforce of any public garden. With their added support, volunteers bring new energy and new ideas that can stimulate growth and success. This study developed a set of recommendations for public gardens that wish to remodel and evolve their volunteer programs to become more influential and meaningful to both the garden and its volunteers. Interviews were conducted with nine volunteer managers around the U.S. who are currently or have recently renovated their volunteer programs. The documentation of their challenges and success provides pertinent information for other professionals attempting a program evolution. To create a basis for the study's recommendations, these actions have been compared with other popular volunteer management practices. A questionnaire was also sent to volunteers at each of the nine gardens to gather information about their motivations and satisfactions concerning their volunteering experience. This data was compared to the actions taken by volunteer managers in an effort to determine whether or not the improvements were recognized by the volunteers. The research data from the volunteer managers identified universal components of a successful volunteer program, including the importance of the leader of the volunteer program and his/her actions involved in recruitment, training, evaluation, and recognition. Patterns and outliers became clear through this research, and concluding recommendations establish applicable ideas for newly appointed and seasoned volunteer managers at public horticulture institutions.

Download or read book Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Museums written by Kristy Van Hoven and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are in the middle of a museum paradigm shift and a new type of museum volunteer is emerging from the community. Non-profit volunteers are looking for unique and satisfying ways to engage in their communities and museums are primed to offer just the experiences these volunteers are looking for. Here’s a practical exploration of the differences between the “then” and “now” volunteers and solid advice on volunteer recruitment, communication, and retention strategies. Kristy Van Hoven and Loni Wellman will help you answer the questions: What are new volunteers looking for? What is their motivation? How can you spot the hidden gems in your local community? How can you develop a successful relationship with potential volunteers? How do you keep the museum volunteer motivated and happy? What can teens, adults and retiring professionals bring to your organization? How can your museum support a robust and active volunteer program? How do you reward volunteers and keep them for the long term? and, most importantly, How can you meet volunteer’s needs and still benefit from their work? The Guide highlights successful projects, incentives, and general museum culture which support volunteer activities and includes examples of Volunteer Job Descriptions, Calls for Volunteers, Evaluation forms, as well as volunteer project outlines. Written in a light hearted spirit, Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Museums: A Handbook to Volunteer Management will engage and inform any professional tasked with developing and managing a volunteer program at their institution. Museums offer an amazing array of volunteer opportunities that help create a greater sense of belonging and purpose for the volunteer. With a growing number of retiring professionals and students looking for professional experiences, now is the time to embark on developing a volunteer program that will thrive in the years to come.
