Due to COVID mitigations, volunteer opportunities are currently limited to outdoor and small group projects. As operations and programming expand during 2021, additional opportunities will be available. Those interested in volunteering should complete and submit a volunteer application- applicants will be notified when volunteer opportunities are available.
Spring Valley's volunteer program encourages community involvement and assistance in the ongoing restoration of the sanctuary and with the presentation of public programs and special events. Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age with a strong interest in providing a community service. Group volunteer opportunities also exist.
A variety of short term, seasonal and ongoing projects are available.
