Volunteer With Us!

It is impossible to accomplish all that needs to be done without our valuable volunteers. Our fabulous volunteers are of all ages and backgrounds, and they come to us individually and as teams—student, corporate, community, civic groups, and others.

Your commitment can be for a few hours, seasonal, or year-round. And you don’t have to be a nature expert to volunteer—we’ve got that covered! We only ask for a positive attitude and follow-through.

Every dollar makes a difference.

$30 can provide materials for a birdhouse-building workshop.
$60 can purchase native plants for pollinator gardens.
$100 can purchase new children’s binoculars for bird programming.
$350 can fund a school group’s educational visit.
$500+ can fund major upgrades to our Nature Center.

fund summer camp, youth programming & more!

Fulfill Our Wishlists

Consider fulfilling our Toddler Time program wish list to help teach our next generation to appreciate and protect nature. Click here to see the items we need for this fun and educational program.

The nature education programs we offer to children — and people of all ages — would not be as impactful without our education animals. You can meet them here! If you’d like to help with the expense of keeping them healthy, please click here for the Chewy link, or here for our Amazon link.

You can support our incredible Nature Camp by fulfilling wish list items here.

We also put gift cards to Amazon, Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Tractor Supply to very good use for our day-to-day operations.
