Stewardship Volunteer Workshop

Calling all Volunteers! Join us for the Stewardship Volunteer Workshop and make a difference! 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Volunteers are just like you. They're teachers, business executives, parents, retirees, students...you name it.  Community involvement played an important role in the establishment of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge (DRIWR) and helped to save units like Humbug Marsh from destruction by developers; We need your help NOW to continue making a difference because the more volunteers we have, the bigger impact we can all make. Together. 

DRIWR has numerous volunteer opportunities available for people of all ages to work in visitor services, environmental education, biology, habitat restoration, maintenance, office administration, and more. A Volunteer Workshop will be held on Wednesday, February 20th to discuss opportunities for involvement with Refuge Stewardship efforts. Assistance is needed in a multitude of Resource Management related activities and the following volunteer positions will be the focus of February's workshop:
