The Center rests on 54 acres of restored habitat thanks to the Yellowstone River Parks Association, community volunteers, and local agencies. This work continues today and is completed primarily by community volunteers. Land Stewards have the opportunity to assist with Garden Maintenance, Citizen Science, and Restoration Projects.

• Garden Maintenance: The Center has three demonstration gardens and a memorial garden that volunteers help to maintain through weeding, mulching, planting, and watering.
• Citizen Science: Interested in contributing to our knowledge of the landscape? Help us survey individual bird species, nesting bird populations, and other animals and plants. Opportunities occur year-round and are flexible to work with your schedule.
• Restoration: To continue providing beneficial wildlife habitat, our restoration program focuses on invasive weed control, as well as habitat preservation and maintenance. No experience in botany or wildlife management? No problem, we provide training on all you need to know!

Educational Programs are a large part of what we do at the Montana Audubon Center. Whether it’s a field trip, homeschool science program, summer camp, special events, open house, or any of the other programs we offer, we need a good team of volunteers to engage participants and assist staff.

Aside from restoration and program volunteering, the Center provides a host of other volunteer opportunities from social media development to general building upkeep and construction projects to special events coordination.

Do you have a special skill you’d like to put to work for us? Please let us know in our volunteer application!
