Calling Volunteers to Work for Wildlife

Mass Audubon is hosting its annual Statewide Volunteer Day and you're invited!

Saturday, April 24, 2010
9 am to noon

Join us for a day of family fun as we spruce up our trails and gardens, put on a fresh coat of paint, and dive into other spring cleaning projects. See our list of participating sanctuaries for more details (below) and sign-up online today!

There are plenty of activities planned for all ages and abilities, whether you're looking for kid-friendly work (planting native wildflowers) or more strenuous activities (clearing brush). We can also provide your child with a community service verification letter after the work is done.
