Fall Family Adventure: Program Support - Spider Station!

Pending Background Check

Description

Share some "scary" creatures with participants of all ages at this year's Fall Family Adventure! Conservation Leader volunteers are needed to help participants learn more about these amazing creatures and perhaps realize they are not so scary after all.

Impact

Volunteers help build access, comfort, convenience, and safety into our programs for all interested in learning. Youth and family volunteers build leadership skills, learn how to mentor others, serve as a naturalist for their peers, and as a family play an important role in helping protect and promote our natural world!
