If you’re
interested in local history, nature, the environment or enjoy helping
others learn, you are invited to become a volunteer at Michigan State
University’s W. K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS). KBS and W. K.
Kellogg Experimental Forest facilities are located near Hickory
Corners and Augusta, Mich.
The MSU Kellogg Biological Station Volunteer
Program began in September 1988 with a primary goal to increase
community involvement through outreach and education. Since that time,
volunteers have made it possible for us to increase our ability to
greet KBS visitors through guided tours, public programs, field days
and open houses. We make every effort to offer volunteers diverse
opportunities at the W.K. Kellogg Forest, Kellogg Bird Sanctuary,
Kellogg Farm, Kellogg Manor, and Brook Lodge depending on their
interests.
Several volunteer training sessions are scheduled during April and May. They
will focus on training tour guides for the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary,
Kellogg Farm, Kellogg Forest, and Kellogg Manor House. After attending
training, new guides are invited to follow experienced guides on a few
tours before going out on their own. New guides begin leading groups
when they are comfortable with the information.
Additional KBS
volunteer opportunities can be found on our web site. Opportunities
include maple sugaring, landscaping/gardening, providing bookstore and
clerical assistance, and helping with weekend programs.
KBS volunteers
are asked to commit to one or two half-days per month.
Volunteers play an important role here as staff member, educator and
goodwill ambassador. If you would like to become a KBS Volunteer, please do not hesitate to
call the KBS Community Relations Office at (269) 671-2263 or send e-mail to: volunteers@kbs.msu.edu. Thank you for your interest in our volunteer program.
