The refuge hosts several volunteer days throughout the year. Activities may involve a variety of tasks such as winter rabbit tracking, habitat restoration, plant propagation, invasive plant removal, and helping us get organized with some much needed cleaning. This is a great opportunity to learn about the refuge, what we do to protect wildife and their habitat, gain experience, meet new people, and have fun!
