Volunteers provide their skills and energy to the reforestation effort, clean-up projects, school programs, maintenance of public facilities, trail construction, office work and wildlife monitoring. We invite you to learn from first hand experiences. By volunteering you'll gain knowledge about the refuge, its purpose and prospects and become involved with a vision of wildlife, natural landscapes and quality of life for people in southern Illinois.  

Contact the refuge office at 618-634-2231 for volunteer opportunities.
