Be a part of the park’s volunteer team and contribute to improving its habitat in spring, summer, and fall.

Drop-In Events are small-scale, done-in-a-day events. They provide a wonderful opportunity to work and learn alongside experienced volunteers and staff. Perfect for first-time volunteers and longtime veteran volunteers. All are welcome!
