Hundreds of people volunteer their time and efforts at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge. Refuge volunteers come from all ages and backgrounds, all skills and interests.
Volunteer assignments at the refuge vary in duration and regularity. Hands-on stewardship activities (i.e. habitat management, trail maintenance) tend to be single-day events that vary in length of time. Assignments that deal with public use of the Refuge (i.e. information desk, interpreter) are more likely to occur at specific times and on specific days each week.
Youth, civic, educational, and special interest groups are always welcome to volunteer. Hands-on stewardship activities like invasive species eradication and clearing brush from prairie habitats are most popular with groups. Often organization badges, honors, etc. can be earned from the experience.
