Volunteers are essential to the day-to-day operation of the museum. Several types of jobs are available to suit many levels of expertise and age groups. Our youngest volunteers are ten years old and our oldest are---well, never mind.

Our volunteers give as much time to the museum as fits their schedule, from once a season to three times a week. Indoors there are two three-hour shift choices, 10-1 and 1-4, and volunteers usually work in pairs. Sometimes whole families come and do a variety of jobs.

If you love nature, love to work with groups of people, and love Bob’s carvings, we have lots of volunteer opportunities for you.
