How to Become a Volunteer at Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve

Volunteering at
Banshee Reeks

Objectives of Park Volunteerism

• To develop an effective and productive volunteer force that supports the operations of the nature preserve.

• To help make improvements that are not otherwise possible.

• To provide people with interests in the world of nature to get together to share those interests and learn from each other.

Performance Standards

• As a member of the team, you will be expected to work a schedule mutually agreeable to you and your work area supervisor.

• The same standards of performance are expected from volunteers as are expected from employees.

VIVA Program

Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve is able to provide additional programs because of the Visitor Information Volunteer Association (VIVA) program. The VIVA volunteers run the visitor’s desk, answer questions about Banshee Reeks, hold guided walks on the trails and many other tasks.
