    Become a Volunteer!

    Families can also learn about science and ecology, first hand, by volunteering with our research projects. Families learn the scientific method, perform different ecological research techniques, collect data, and assist with data interpretation and analysis. This is also a good internship opportunity for high school students.

    Check out some of our other programs where your family can do some of the same things on weekends.
