Wildlife volunteers assist with the care, feeding, and rehabilitation of wildlife on exhibit and in the wildlife facility. They also help clean and maintain animal enclosures – performing a variety of tasks from basic carpentry to scrubbing walls, to mowing and weed-whacking enclosures. Wildlife volunteers must be age 18 or older and have a current tetanus shot.

Wildlife volunteers must commit to working one dedicated shift per week with a minimum six-month commitment. Generally, there are no more than 1-2 openings a year, so we have a waiting list.

To be placed on the waiting list to volunteer in wildlife, please complete the “Individual Volunteer Application” on the volunteer page and indicate you are interested in “Wildlife”. Be sure to indicate your estimated available days and times. Once we have an opening, our wildlife director will contact you.
