Our Volunteer
Our work wouldn’t be possible without them. Passionate, dedicated, and meticulous, our volunteers are the backbone of everything we do. They are out in the field at dawn, extracting birds from nets, and sometimes working late into the night during owl migration season. They help clean and maintain the site, tend to vegetation and trails, fill feeders in winter, represent us at events, lead guided tours, and even sew bird bags by hand.
We are incredibly grateful for this amazing team of volunteers who make our mission possible.
