Are you interested in becoming a volunteer?

For volunteer opportunities at the Refuge, please contact us at 508-945-0594, Monday through Friday 8am to 4pm.

The refuge typically has a variety of internship opportunities each summer ranging from biology and invasive species work to interpretation and education. Announcements are posted in November each year and the application period usually closes by the following February. Internships are a great way to experience what it is like to work on public lands and make a contribution to natural resource conservation.
