The Garden City Bird Sanctuary Needs Volunteer Corps Members
The Garden City Bird Sanctuary, Inc. (GCBS) located at 182 Tanners Pond Road needs more Volunteer Corps members. The GCBS Volunteer Corps mission is to (1) keep the Bird Sanctuary open to the public during the weekends from the end of April to the end of September and (2) help maintain and improve the nine-acre jewel.
You are not merely "someone who helps," because the Corps will work as a subdivision of the Board of Directors and have a say in how things are done. Your time can be used for community service hours and we offer internships for high school and college students.
Become part of something bigger and make a difference! If you can donate some time on the weekends beginning April 26, 2025, please apply by emailing us at gcbirdsanctuary@gmail.com.
