Thank you to all of the volunteers who have helped make Woodland Dunes Nature Center, our programs and special events so successful.

If you enjoy nature, want to work in a peaceful, beautiful natural setting, and would like to volunteer to help us in our mission of land preservation and environmental education, we'd like to meet you. We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities; there's sure to be something that interests you.

Although we have just started our summer day-care visits, we are already looking ahead to autumn and the resumption of school programs. Volunteers would be especially welcomed to help as teacher-naturalists, both in our traditional programs and in new programs we are developing. We offer extensive training, and a great group of people to work with.

Other volunteer opportunities abound. We need help with maintenance and cleaning of our facilities, both indoors and out. If you are experienced in marketing and fund-raising, you might consider helping with with an up-coming membership drive. Those interested in Saw-whet Owls might want to volunteer for our Night Gang, which helps with our banding program.

Our friends group, the Friends of Woodland Dunes, organizes and runs our larger events: Owlfest, the Winnie Smith Harvest Dinner, Christmas for the Birds, and Bird Breakfast. If you would like to use your knowledge and skills in this field, and meet and work with congenial people, you would be most welcome!

If you would like to be a part of any of these please call us at 793-4007 for more information!
