Volunteers

Since the Sanctuary's founding in 1985, volunteers have been critical to our small staff by helping with a wide variety of projects.

Every year, more than 300 volunteers donate over 7,000 hours of their time, skills, and enthusiasm. This is the equivalent of a $100,000 donation.Volunteer Yuka Tasumi removing invasive plants from the high marsh wetlands.
