Briar Bush Nature Center

A little bit of help can go a long way...

 

Like most nature centers around the country, Briar Bush could not accomplish its goals without the dedicated help of generous volunteers. Our volunteers assist with nearly every aspect of operation, including maintaining buildings and grounds, creating exhibits, caring for resident animals and wildlife, and delivering environmental programming to thousands of visitors. Basic requirements for all our volunteers are a love of nature, dependability, and dedication. Whether you have a lot of time or very little, we would love to find a way for you to make your mark at Briar Bush.

If you would like to volunteer and you are less than 18 years old, please click here.
