Morse Preserve is a little known, 100 acre wildlife preserve in Pierce County in Graham, home to native wildflowers and rare Western Bluebirds.
Currently, The Morse Preserve is only open the second Sunday of every month, April through October. We would like to increase public access to the perserve, so we are recruiting approximately 10 new Morse Preserve Volunteers interested in nature education and to act as hosts to visitors on special days.
New volunteers will be paired with experienced ones for each of two shifts; 9-12:30 and 12:30-4:00. Their primary function is to meet visitors as they arrive in the parking area and orient them to the Preserve. This is done near a pop-up canopy over a picnic table adjacent to a kiosk with a large map of the trails. Trailside Interpreters
Trailside interpreters walk the trails answering questions from visitors. Trailside interpreters can also help visitors spot and identify birds at wildlife viewing areas around the park. Basic knowledge of local wildlife and native plants is helpful for this position, but training can be provided!
These are great opportunities for anyone who wants to build experience in outdoor leadership!
