Looking for a good reason to spend time outdoors? Enjoy working with kids? Want to make a difference in your community? Then YOU should be a volunteer Nearby Nature guide in Alton Baker Park!

Every spring and fall, Nearby Nature trains volunteers to take small groups of K-5th graders on interactive nature walks in Alton Baker Park. Using hands-on science, games, and storytelling, guides help kids connect with nature nearby.

Walks are held on weekday mornings from mid April through mid-June and late September through mid-November. No experience is necessary. Free training is provided in April and September and covers everything from local natural history to the art of teaching children.

To learn more about leading nature walks, call 541-687-9699, email info@nearbynature.org, or fill out a Volunteer Questionnaire at https://www.nearbynature.org/volunteer. Note: If you are interested, but have missed our most recent seasonal volunteer orientation, get in touch regardless! We may be able to match you up with another volunteer opportunity or get you ready to go with make-up trainings!
