Volunteering at Bear River
Refuge Volunteers (Gil, June, Dorothy and Jorgen) help open a new Refuge Trail

Volunteers are an extremely important part of "getting things done" at Bear River and across the National Wildlife Refuge System.  Here at Bear River, our volunteers help man our front desk and answer visitor questions, perform wildlife surveys, undertake maintenance projects, enter visitor data, and much much more.  For more information on volunteering, feel free to download our Volunteering at Bear River flyer or call us at 435.734.6425.

Also - if you've already made that great decision to help out at Bear River in your free time - please fill out both of the documents below.  One is a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Volunteer Application and the second is the Volunteer Agreement form.  Once filled out - bring them in with you to the Refuge and speak with our Visitor Services Manager, Kathi Stopher.  Call her for an appointment or any questions at 435.734.6438, and we look forward to working with you soon!

Facts About Volunteering

Volunteers fill a variety of important functions at the refuge:  greeters at the information desk, staff at the Avocet Corner BookShop, environmental educators, assistants for special events, roving refuge/birding interpreters, tour guides and newsletter writers/publication assistants. Volunteers are special at Bear River, and throughout the year we appreciate our volunteers in many ways, such as  Volunteer Appreciation Luncheons, training and field trip opportunities, and more.
