If you can volunteer an hour or make a regular weekly commitment, we would be most grateful. No teaching experience is necessary, nor is knowledge of birds or wildlife. Student volunteers may be eligible for service learning hours.

This is a wonderful way for you to enjoy beautiful Patterson Park and its refurbished Boat Lake; take a stroll on the many walking paths; discover the surprising wildlife that makes the Park its home; and contribute to the quality of life in Patterson Park and the surrounding communities. Daytime parking is plentiful.

Our Habitat Team of volunteers is busy from March through November. Whether you have a green thumb or just enjoy getting your hands dirty in the out-of-doors, we would love your help in keeping our habitat gardens a thriving place for birds and bugs. All ages are welcome! We meet at the Audubon gardens in Patterson Park on the first Saturday of the month from 9:00-10:30 AM. Or, email us to schedule your community or business group!

If you are interested in lending a helping hand on a regular basis, please email us to discuss the possibilities. If you are 18 or older, you can also complete and submit the Volunteer Application online. Students, please download the Student Application below.
