I would like to volunteer, but I don't have a lot of time!
We
understand that people have personal commitments and lead busy
lives. Family should always come first! We can use the help
from any member interested in volunteering. We try our best to
schedule meetings, hold events, and arrange volunteer schedules and
timeframes with busy lives in mind. We rely on open communication
to allow you to do what you can when it is most convenient for
you. You do what you can ... when you can!!!
What if
I want to help but do not wish to work directly with wildlife?
There are many
other departments that need help. Though some departments do not
actually do hands on work with animals, all efforts indirectly help the
animals and the environment.
Note:
With the exception of students, all volunteers must hold membership with
Messinger Woods.
