Volunteer Opportunities

Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory is looking for volunteers!

This is your opportunity to be a part of a research and education team, bringing the magic of the fall raptor migration to the public. 

WHO IS ELIGIBLE? 
Anyone who shares a passion for birds and has the desire to help, learn & have fun!   Absolutely no experience is necessary. We will train and teach you, and provide ample opportunities for you to pursue your passion, whether it be birds, sales, public relations, or teaching!

FALL SEASON: We need people to help in many areas, including merchandise sales, transport of banded birds, trail maintenance, office work, public education, raptor ID, and many more!  Volunteers are needed during September & October for work on the Ridge.

ALL YEAR: Off season projects include improvement planning, grant writing, trail maintenance, program development, and whatever else we come up with. Volunteers also become more informed through lectures, educational programs, field trips, and fun social activities.

Sound exciting??  It is!
