Petting Zoo Volunteers
Location: Anne Springs Close Greenway Horse Barn
Duties:
POSITION TITLE: Petting Zoo Volunteer
POSITION DESCRIPTION: Petting zoo volunteers will allow us to build the quality of our existing Petting Zoo. Currently we have some wonderful animals including a Zebu (mini) Bull, two pigs, three goats, two mini horses, and soon-to-be two mini donkeys. We use the Petting Zoo for Greenway events and birthday parties. For most of the year they are free to roam in the pasture, but do not receive enough hands-on attention. There is room for improvement so these animals are more comfortable around people. Volunteers will also assist in keeping the Petting Zoo area clean and appealing to visitors.
PURPOSE: To maintain and build the quality of the Greenway's Petting Zoo. This will also increase the zoo's potential for Greenway events, birthday parties and outreach events.

Mission Statement
To provide stewardship and protect the cultural, ecological and scenic features of the land, while offering recreational and educational opportunities that promote the health and wellness of the community.
Description
Leroy Springs & Company has been providing recreational and educational opportunities to the communities surrounding Springs Industries facilities for over 60 years. In 1995, the Anne Springs Close Greenway, a 2,100 acre nature preserve in Fort Mill, South Carolina, was dedicated to the public to serve as a natural buffer from urban development and a place for countless activities - from hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, to picnics, kayaking and more.
The land was donated by the children of Anne Springs Close to honor her lifelong commitment to recreation and the environment. The Greenway is a not-for-profit entity which receives no ongoing tax dollars to build, maintain or operate its programs, trails and facilities. Owned and managed by Leroy Springs & Company, the Greenway is funded in part by memberships, program fees and generous donations from individuals and corporations.
