Use your birding, botany, entomology and people skills to guide walks around the Lorrimer Sanctuary. We currently have the need for walks on Fridays and Saturdays and would like to add walks in the morning, afternoon and evenings. Volunteers will receive some on-site training, but you must be a good birder and/or naturalist to lead these walks.
