Have a passion for the wildlife of South Florida and the Everglades? Enjoy talking to people and sharing your expertise?
Join us at Flamingo Gardens as a Wildlife Sanctuary Guide. WS Guides will learn talking points on the animals that call our sanctuary home, and provide information to guests as they tour the facility. Must be comfortable initiating conversation with guests and learning specific facts about our collection.
Flamingo Gardens is a Botanical Garden and Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary located in West Ft. Lauderdale since the 1930's. We have 60 acres of trees and tropical plants from all over the world, including Champion trees (the largest tree of their kind in Florida).
Our animal sanctuary is home to permanently injured and rehabilitated native Florida wildlife. Flamingo Gardens has everything from alligators and bobcats to eagles and otters and a bear! We also have a half-acre enclosed Aviary filled with native Florida birds.
If this interests you, please send an email to volunteers@flamingogardens.org or call 954-473-2955 x 134 to set up an appointment for an interview.
Thank you,
