Columbia Springs Environmental Education Center

Interested in Helping Columbia Springs?

Volunteer Your Time

Interested in helping out? We have several volunteer positions we are continually seeking to fill.

Everyone is welcome for Stewardship Saturday! This event happens between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. the 2nd Saturday of every month except for December. Stewardship Saturday is an opportunity for individuals and families to come out and participate in restoration activities. We remove non-native species, plant native species, maintain and break trail, as well as many other fun physical activities. Snacks, coffee, tools, and gloves will be provided... so get away from that desk, and get outside! (We ask that children be accompanied by a parent.)

We are now looking for individuals to act as Volunteer Docents to help lead student and public tours of our hatchery. These individuals would be on an on-call basis for large student groups and special events. Often these times will be during the week, though some events may be on weekends. Watch this space for future Docent Training opportunities or contact us.

From the volunteer docent pool we are hoping to find a few individuals who would be interested in becoming Education Assistants. These people would help teach hands on environmental programs with Columbia Springs staff. Further training would be necessary, and preference will be shown for individuals with a background in education or science.

Further opportunities exist for Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Eagle Scouts, and other community members interested in completing environmental projects (can be toward merit badge). Examples include, building boardwalks or decks, small bridges over springs, habitat construction projects, and more. Please contact Gala Miller for further information.
