The Wildlife Festival is the largest public event that Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge hosts and this event wouldn't be a success or even be possible without our volunteers! This event is a free, family-friendly event to celebrate the wildlife at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. Visitors can enjoy the engaging, hands-on activities at each booth, explore refuge wildlife and management, observe live animals, and more! There are a variety of different ways to help out before and after as well as at the festival from set-up, clean-up, interpretation, working at a booth, leading a booth, and more. Most volunteer work will involve engaging visitors with wildlife or nature-related topics but there are some volunteer roles that provide behind-the scenes help.
bring: Water bottles, snacks, clothes appropriate for the weather, hat. Site will provide: Lunch, water, tools, one-day free pass to federal public lands
ADD any family members or friends by name with t-shirt sizes in the comments section, along with any dietary restrictions or special accommodations.
