About the Volunteer Program
For over 30 years dedicated volunteers have supported our parks by giving their time and support to help our education staff, rangers, and resource conservation staff.
Benefits: This is a wonderful opportunity to meet visitors while sharing your passion for our parks by protecting their natural and cultural resources. Volunteers receive in-depth training in natural history, cultural history, interpretative methods, and are provided access to continuing education opportunities. Share your interests with a like-minded community of volunteers and staff.
Volunteer Enrichment Events
We provide our volunteers with seven (7) enrichment events where we have local scientists and naturalists give special talks and field trips.
Volunteer Appreciation
We celebrate our volunteers each year at our annual volunteer appreciation luncheon.
