Do you enjoy nature? Do you enjoy helping people?

Your presence can assure that the Museum is open on weekends and certain holidays and for special groups on weekdays. You would be showing visitors what there is to see and do in the Museum, selling items from our small nature shop, and doing some minimal record keeping. Training is provided.
