Help Spruce Up the Nature Center Building

Keeping the wonderful old Nature Center building clean and orderly is so important in order to preserve the building and to provide pleasant experiences for all our visitors.

We do not have regular cleaning staff so Nature Center Cleaning Tasks Volunteers vacuum and mop floors, dust, clean display surfaces. They also organize and inventory items, shovel or sweep our walkway, or even wash our tablecloths!

Prairie Sampler and Trail Workdays are scheduled throughout the year where Nature Center cleaning tasks can be done. Or individuals and small groups arrange to work with our Naturalist on other days.

Come join the fun! We’ll train you!
