Volunteer Opportunities

Achieving Goals

Our mission is to carry on the pioneering work of children's author and naturalist, Thornton W. Burgess, "to inspire reverence for wildlife and concern for the natural environment". We continue to strive through educational programs and community outreach to raise awareness of our natural world.

The Society came into being through volunteer effort. Without the valuable assistance of our volunteers over the years, our goals could not have been achieved.

Come share your talents and skills, or learn something new. Become an integral part of a team which enables us to make a difference and realize our goals!
