Opportunities to Volunteer with the Gillette Nature Association

There are volunteer opportunities suited to the diverse talents and interests of the people in our West Michigan lakeshore community. Volunteers are needed for events. The annual Turkey Trail Run each November is a key fundraiser that requires a lot of people to assist on race day. Volunteers are instrumental for programs such as the winter snowshoe hikes.

Volunteers are an integral part of the activities sponsored by the Gillette Visitor Center. Volunteers are needed for the following:
