ORGANIZATION: New Canaan Nature Center
Chickens & Goats
We are looking for a volunteer or volunteers to help care for our resident Chickens and Goats on Saturday mornings (around 7:00-7:30 A.M. in summer / 8:00-8:30 A.M. in winter). Work involves letting the animals out for the day and making sure they have food & water available. Time required: about 15-20 minutes weekly.
Because formal training will be provided by our Director of Animal Care, we are seeking volunteers who are able to provide us with a long-term commitment.
All volunteers are required to fill out a Volunteer Application. A background check is mandatory for all adults prior to the start of volunteer service.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
