Children's Animal Center Volunteer Day III

Our next Volunteer Work Day will be Saturday September 11th starting at 8:30am. We plan on leveling out dirt in the yard, working on fencing, prepping areas for painting and any other work that may need to be done. If you have children that would like to help out ages 9 and up should have no problem giving us a hand.Click here to volunteer!

We Need Specialized Help!

Landscaping

We are now getting ready to do landscaping in the yard.  Before we do so, we need to install a new irrigation system in the yard and areas to keep our new plants and grass growing!  Unfortunately, due to budgetary constraints we really need some volunteer workers to instruct us on how to install this new system.

Do you or someone you know have experience in laying out or installing yard irrigation systems?  We need some help!  We will purchase all supplies and materials and also have a team of workers to help with the installation process!

Painting

We also are in need of skilled painters.  The metal beams on our seven free flight aviaries need to be painted. As much as we would like this to be a project that anyone could help with, we need volunteers with some experience in painting to ensure it results in a quality appearance.  If you or someone you know has done some painting here and there we would love to have them come out and give us a hand.  There is no set day or time to do this, whatever is convenient for you!  Please just let us know when you plan on coming out so we can have all the supplies ready to go.  As with all the other volunteering opportunities we are more than happy to allow our helpers a free pass through our park!

If you can help us out, click here to tell us about your experience and what you can do to help.
