Volunteer Workshops
All volunteers are provided with regular training about Weedon Island Preserve. In addition to basic volunteer orientation, regularly scheduled workshops are conducted specifically for volunteers, providing hands-on activities and field explorations. Volunteer training workshops are open to all new, current and potential Environmental Lands Division volunteers.

Special Opportunities
Several specialized workshops are offered throughout the year to provide in-depth information on a variety of topics. Topics are determined by requests from volunteers and are sometimes seasonal in nature. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a potential recruit, these programs are a fun and informational look at the natural and cultural resources of Weedon Island Preserve. Contact us for current topics.

Volunteer Benefits
Besides the rewarding experience of meeting and sharing experiences with visitors from all over the world, volunteering at Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center has many other benefits. Volunteers are invited to participate in exclusive programs and events such as specially guided canoe trips and night hikes. It is our way of saying "Thank You" to our dedicated volunteers. Contact our Assistant Volunteer Site Coordinator to learn more about upcoming volunteer appreciation programs.

Volunteer Appreciation
A few times each year, the Center and Division staff host informal galas in honor of our volunteers. Imagine an afternoon or evening of good food and great company where volunteers gather to help us recognize the extraordinary assistance provided through our volunteer program. These days are for you!
