Site Maintenance & Invasive Species Removal Volunteer

Keeping the ever-growing weeds and invasive species at bay is important for maintaining our buildings, roads, and aviaries, and ultimately keeping the owls safe. This volunteer role is best suited for those who like to work outside and get their hands dirty! Tools and equipment, as well as a volunteer orientation and specific training, will be provided.

Please note: Volunteers MUST be at least 16 years of age and be able to drive themselves to the site (no pick ups/drop offs, not accessible by public transportation). Please do not apply if you do not fulfill this requirement. The NSOBP is a non-smoking work environment. The NSOBP site is not wheel chair accessible.
