Responsibilities may include:

• Assisting with and leading nature programs and activities
• Serving as a Nature Center docent, providing educational information to visitors
• Greeting visitors and offering helpful information about the park and its features
• Supporting staff in maintaining an inviting and informative Nature Center space

Ideal volunteers are:

• Friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic about nature and education
• Comfortable speaking with visitors of all ages
• Reliable and willing to learn new skills
• Able to work both independently and as part of a team

*After signing up, the Manager of Volunteers will email you and provide a link to complete a free background check since you will be working with visitors/youth*

If you’re ready to make a positive impact and help visitors connect with the natural world, we’d love to have you join us!
