Volunteering
Volunteer opportunities are available to assist with our "Welcome Home Migratory Bird Bash" on May 9th & 10th. Shifts can be either two hours or four hours in length between the hours of 8 AM until 5 PM. All volunteers will receive a special volunteer T-shirt.
The refuge supports and encourages an active volunteer program. Depending on their skills, interests, and available time, volunteers can assist with the biological, outreach, maintenance, public use, educational or administrative tasks on the refuge.
If you have the time and the willingness to make a commitment, we'd love to talk to you about your interests in volunteering on the refuge. Please contact refuge staff at 734-692-7649 or e-mail Kristi_Thiel@fws.gov.

Removing invasive plant species
