We need committed and dedicated people to help us care for orphaned and injured wildlife every year. From April to September is our busiest time. This is when the baby animals come into the center.
If you have any health concerns, such as asthma or other respiratory illnesses, allergies to animals, cleaning supplies, or any immune diseases or back problems, we suggest you consider carefully whether this is an appropriate volunteer activity. If you have any questions about your health concerns, check with your physician.
If you still want to help, and enjoy sewing or woodworking, we are in need of squirrel bags and nest boxes each year. These items can be made in your home and brought to the Center. Give us a call if you are interested in how to make these items.
For volunteer positions and requirements, just get in touch with us. We also accept college interns for the spring and summer months.
