April 16&17 9am-3pm.
The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is seeking new volunteers to join thier team of environmental and cultural educators.
Every year the refuge hosts over 4,000 students, along with hundreds of teachers and parents to learn about the rich natural and cultural resources of the area. The Refuge only has one staff person and one Friends employee that are dedicated to public cultural and environmental education programs, and they just cannot do it all themselves. Luckily, it is not only fun but easy to engage youth in this beautiful outdoor classroom! We will start off at the Fire Station by the Ridgefield/I5 junction for indoor presentations and activities, then move to the refuge in the afternoon.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! Learn how to work with youth of many ages and backgrounds, the basic ecological concepts that they are learning and can see on the refuge, and the cultural and natural resources that make this place a thriving historical and natural destination.
