Become a Volunteer - Adult or Family

Like most non-profit nature centers around the country, Briar Bush could not accomplish its goals without the help of dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers assist with nearly every aspect of operation, including maintaining buildings and grounds, creating exhibits, caring for resident animals and wildlife, and delivering environmental programming to thousands of visitors. Basic requirements for all our volunteers are a love of nature, dependability, and dedication. Whether you have a lot of time or very little, we would love to find a way for you to make your mark at Briar Bush.

Please take a moment to fill out the following information and someone will get back to you shortly. Families with children under the age of 12 may volunteer together or youths ages 12-18 may volunteer on their own.

December 2012 - We are in need of a volunteer to take over animal care on Mondays on a weekly basis beginning in January.
