Volunteering

We welcome volunteers seven days a week (during daylight hours) and are always in need of more help!!  

The work here is varied but largely physical. We can find something suitable for everyone’s ages and capabilities!

We have daily barn and coop cleaning and monthly deep cleaning to help with that start in the mornings. We also regularly need help with invasive plant abatement, raking mulch, forest/brush thinning (for wildfire prevention), some gardening and other various projects. We encourage our volunteers to spend time with the animals after their shift, to enjoy a walk up our hill and/or to bring plant based snacks or food to enjoy a picnic.

We ask folks to commit to coming as regularly as they are able to (ideally once every week or two) both because organizing and training our new volunteers takes time and effort and so that the animals can enjoy getting to know you and have regular people. You’ll certainly make friends with some of our more social residents!

We aim to hold new volunteer days 3-4 times a month, some during the week and some on weekends.

* We also welcome volunteering from larger groups and organizations. If you’re interested in coming as a group for volunteering, please contact us with your approximate group number and desired date.
