Volunteer: Trail Monitor

Purpose: The purpose of the opportunity is to create a monitoring system for our trails that can provide quick repairs and improve safety on the trail. It allows volunteers to provide important information to park rangers of trail issues, or safety risk on our trail that needs immediate attention. 

When: You can do this at your own leisure. No set time or trail for this. 

Where:  All trails

What to do: Hiking one or multiple trails and either reporting issues or fixing issues yourself. Examples of issues that you can fix are clearing debris of trail such as lose rocks, tree limbs or other items that may impede your hike and removing trash/litter from trail. Examples of issues that you would report would be, down trees over the trail, hazardous trees, bridges broken/not operating correctly, trail markers missing, and any hazards you think should be reported to a Ranger. (Trash pick up is better during the spring on trails next to lake. When spring rains bring the lake back up. Down trees are all year but more severe during winter and early spring)

After your hike please report your hours back on here this gives you credit and allows you another confirmation that the hours were completed if you need volunteer hours. It also allows state park to keep track of volunteer hours at our park and throughout the state. After you report your hours please email Justin.Vaughn@tn.gov about details of your hike. Be as detailed as you possible can about the issues you encountered, such as what trail you were on,  approximate location, size of trees, and how severe you think the issues is. You can even send photos of issues to this email if you want. All this informations makes park staff better prepared for the trail issues which saves time, money and makes for quicker fixes.

Experience: Basic hiking experience and trail knowledge

Questions: Contact Park Ranger Justin Vaughn

Volunteer: Adopt-a-Plot & Help Our Gardens Grow!

We have a multitude of container and traditional gardens leading up to and surrounding the Miller Farmstead. Over time, we'd like to convert each of these plots into arrangements of native and traditionally-relevant perennial plants that will provide eco-services to local wildlife and be beautiful to look at for our visitors. 

We are currently recruiting regular service volunteers to adopt small garden plots to maintain on a regular basis. Maintenance can be as little as tackling weeds in an existing plot for half an hour twice a month during the growing season, or as much as designing appropriate plantings and working with staff to renew a bed from start to finish.

This is an opportunity where experienced gardeners can work relatively independently, but we are happy to provide training and direction to inexperienced gardeners where needed. Bring your own tools and gloves, or use ours. 

If you'd like a smaller project to manage that will make a big difference and be seen and enjoyed by millions of visitors, we welcome your help.

Volunteer: Monday and/or Tuesday Afternoon Visitor Center Volunteer

Chattanooga Audubon Society's Visitor Center serves as a hub for education, advocacy, and community engagement. Volunteers find themselves immersed in a vibrant atmosphere, surrounded by passionate individuals who share a love for nature and conservation.

 

As a Visitor Center Greeter, your role is vital in creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. You'll be their go-to guide, sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the trails that wind through the picturesque landscapes. Offering personalized recommendations, you'll help visitors choose the perfect trail to embark upon. But that's not all! As you greet and engage with guests, you'll have the chance to delve into the fascinating history of Audubon Acres. From tales of the legendary Robert Sparks Walker Cabin to the captivating stories of the land's indigenous people, you'll weave a narrative that transports visitors back in time and ignites their curiosity.

So, if you're ready to be a part of something extraordinary, to share the beauty of nature and the allure of history, become a Visitor Center Greeter at the Chattanooga Audubon Society. The impact of volunteers is felt far beyond the center itself. By promoting environmental stewardship and fostering a deep connection with nature, volunteers become catalysts for change in the community. Their enthusiasm, knowledge, and dedication leave visitors in awe and inspire others to embrace sustainable living and protect the natural wonders that surround us.

 

*Visitor’s Center volunteers also handle tasks such as answering the phone, running the cash register, and providing guests with information about the land and trails.

 

Shifts are 9:00am-1:00pm or 1:00pm-5:00pm

 

Due to the nature of this role, we ask that you commit to one 4-hour shift per week for a minimum of 3 months. Weekend Volunteers are asked to commit to 2 Saturdays per month. This frees up our staff to work on programming, administrative work, and other tasks that require them to be away from the visitor’s center.
To apply, please contact Jessica Whitehorn at jwhitehorn@chattaudubon.org.

All those interested in Volunteering will go through at least 5 days of training. We ask that at least 2 of those training days be on a week day if possible.

Volunteer: Wildlife Animal Care Volunteers

At Opie Acres the work is on going 365 days a year. We have from 75-200 animals in care at all time. The work is physical and dirty, at times, but it is very rewarding. Volunteers are required a minimum of 4 hours per week to stay current in specific care duties. As a volunteer you will learn species specific diets, cage care, infant care, elderly care and basic first aid. As you learn, you can expand your duties and possibly qualify as an advanced team member, caring for our more unusual and difficult patients and resident. You could join our medical Team and learn how to give life saving care, special feeding, and care taking duties, medicine administration, and wound care. We work outdoors and indoors, which requires us to be outside in inclement weather. If you are unable to perform the more physical task, we have plenty of duties in our food processing and preparation, and also in our infant care. Please consider joining us so that we can continue our care for these forgotten animals.

At Opie Acres the work is on going 365 days a year. We have from 75-200 animals in care at all time. The work is physical and dirty, at times, but it is very rewarding. Volunteers are required a minimum of 4 hours per week to stay current in specific care duties. As a volunteer you will learn species specific diets, cage care, infant care, elderly care and basic first aid. As you learn, you can expand your duties and possibly qualify as an advanced team member, caring for our more unusual and difficult patients and resident. You could join our medical Team and learn how to give life saving care, special feeding, and care taking duties, medicine administration, and wound care. We work outdoors and indoors, which requires us to be outside in inclement weather. If you are unable to perform the more physical task, we have plenty of duties in our food processing and preparation, and also in our infant care. Please consider joining us so that we can continue our care for these forgotten animals.

Volunteer: Friday Morning Visitor Center host

Chattanooga Audubon Society's Visitor Center serves as a hub for education, advocacy, and community engagement. Volunteers find themselves immersed in a vibrant atmosphere, surrounded by passionate individuals who share a love for nature and conservation.

 

As a Visitor Center Greeter, your role is vital in creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. You'll be their go-to guide, sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the trails that wind through the picturesque landscapes. Offering personalized recommendations, you'll help visitors choose the perfect trail to embark upon. But that's not all! As you greet and engage with guests, you'll have the chance to delve into the fascinating history of Audubon Acres. From tales of the legendary Robert Sparks Walker Cabin to the captivating stories of the land's indigenous people, you'll weave a narrative that transports visitors back in time and ignites their curiosity.

So, if you're ready to be a part of something extraordinary, to share the beauty of nature and the allure of history, become a Visitor Center Greeter at the Chattanooga Audubon Society. The impact of volunteers is felt far beyond the center itself. By promoting environmental stewardship and fostering a deep connection with nature, volunteers become catalysts for change in the community. Their enthusiasm, knowledge, and dedication leave visitors in awe and inspire others to embrace sustainable living and protect the natural wonders that surround us.

Shifts are 9:00am-1:00pm or 1:00pm-5:00pm

 

Due to the nature of this role, we ask that you commit to one 4-hour shift per week for a minimum of 3 months. Weekend Volunteers are asked to commit to 2 Saturdays per month.

To apply, please contact Jessica Whitehorn at jwhitehorn@chattaudubon.org.

All those interested in Volunteering will go through at least 5 days of training. We ask that at least 2 of those training days be on a week day if possible.
