Do you like spending time with animals? Here at the farm, we are looking for individuals to handle our animals and socialize them with people. Part of being a memorable location, is the interactions the public gets with the animals. This position will require an interview, and set day you would like to commit to. As well as handling the animals, cleaning, feeding, and public interaction will be involved.
Some animals you will have a chance to work with are chickens, goats, bunnies, cats, reptiles, and amphibians. You will be trained and taught about each animal as well as how to care for them. Please email Pamela Deckert at pdeckert@bvilleparks.org for more information!
