Buffalo Audubon is always seeking volunteers for programs, festivals, maintenance and clean-up at our preserves, bird monitoring and more. You need not be an expert to get involved, but a good attitude always helps!
Listed below are our areas of highest need.
Education: We run programs throughout the year, but are especially busy late Spring through early Fall with group programs at Beaver Meadow Audubon Center. If you are interested in sharing the magic of the natural world with children and families and would love to spend time at Beaver Meadow or our other preserves, this is for you!
Trail and Preserve Maintenance: Stewardship of over 1,000 acres is no small task. Trails need to be kept clear and marked, preserves need to be monitored for invasive species, trees and willow huts need to be watered, storm damage needs to be attended to - you get the picture! This is a great way to stay active and outdoors.
Community Science: Buffalo Audubon is engaged in habitat restoration initiatives throughout the region. We need boots on the ground to help us monitor and control invasive plant species, and to participate in bird-monitoring activities along the Niagara River Corridor. This work is essential to helping us understand the impacts of invasive species and climate change on bird populations in WNY, and a great excuse to get outside!
Events: Buffalo Audubon has several signature events - Wild Summer, and Enchanted Forest. Superb Owl Saturday and more - that simply cannot succeed without the help of volunteers. These events draw thousands of Western New Yorkers and provide family memories that last a lifetime while introducing people to nature.
