You are invited to join our Volunteer Team. Everyone, especially students over 16, who is interested in helping us with our wildlife conservation work, and have regular hours/days every month to spare, are invited to download and fill-in our Volunteer Application Form, and send it in to us for review.
Food Prep:
We especially need help with daily food preparation for our animals and birds. Each specie needs a diet of special fresh foods to be prepared every day.
Maintenance:
Any and all of your trade skills would come in handy here at Mountain View. There’s always something to repair, or a new birdbox or facility need constructing, or grass always needs to be cut! We have many buildings and over 300 acres to maintain here.
Your help is welcome!
