Volunteers' Page

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, discover new things and do something good for Indiana's natural and cultural resources. Volunteers who work with our interpretive naturalists provide valuable assistance in many ways. We make every effort to match your skills and interests with our needs. Our volunteers often help with these projects and tasks:

• Serve as a greeter at the Salamonie Interpretive Center
• Help with cleaning or other office duties
• Help out with program preparation
• Write grants or brochures
• Provide graphics and artwork for brochures and exhibits
• Assist with web site design and maintenance or other computer projects
• Present programs as guest speakers
• Offer musical programs for campers and other guests (audition tapes required)
• Assist with school programs (training provided before service)
• Maintain trails
• Care for the live animals in the Salamonie Interpretive Center
• Catalog and protect historical archives for the Upper Wabash Interpretive Services
• Identify and catalog plants, animals or artifacts
• Monitor bluebird or other wildlife nesting boxes
• Design and care for interpretive gardens
• Remove exotic and invasive plants like garlic mustard, honeysuckle and autumn olive
