We have many opportunities for volunteers at Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center in Cedar Hill. This is a great opportunity for Master Gardeners, Master Naturalists, those interested in environmental science and conservation, retired teachers, college students interested in teaching science or working in conservation, and people who love just birds and nature. Volunteer opportunities include education programming for all ages, administration, animal care, guiding hikes, special events, visitor support, habitat and trail maintenance, and more. Basic training is from 9:00 to Noon. Lunch will be provided for participants. After lunch, participants will be split into groups for specialized training based on their area of interest. Specialized training times vary, but will run no later than 3:00p. Free, but registration required. To register, contact Julie Collins: 469-526-1991 or jcollins@audubon.org

Volunteers are invited to join us to assist with our monthly habitat workday. Projects are based on current needs and may include trail-building, habitat management, invasive plant removal, gardens and much more. Corporate and other team building groups welcome! Please call or e-mail in advance if arriving with a group of more than five so that we may plan projects accordingly. We recommend that you bring work gloves, sunscreen, hat, appropriate footwear and clothes that can get dirty. We will provide tools but if you have basic tools that you can bring, you are welcome to do so.
