Spring Volunteer Work Day

Please help us prepare the Museum for spring (and summer)—we’ll feed you if you tell us you’re coming!

There’s lots to do, indoors and out. From helping in the “gardens” to assisting in the museum, we have opportunities for all.

Come for an hour or all day. Bring yourself, a friend, a family.

All welcome! • Please register (so we have enough sandwiches):

Or call (802) 434-2167 or email museum@birdsofvermont.org.

If you can’t come this day, please consider a couple of hours, another day, a weekly rotation, or something else! Whether you are maintaining trails and meadows, helping visitors at the front desk, or deep in office datawork, we would love your company and assistance. We train you. Thank you!
