Since 1996 North Branch Nature Center has evolved to become an integral part of outdoor recreation and learning in central Vermont, serving 15,000 people annually. Their 28-acre preserve of forest and fields is nestled in a gentle bend of the North Branch of the Winooski River, just two miles from downtown Montpelier. Popular year-round as a quiet place to walk, ski, swim, or simply to do nothing beside the river, NBNC welcomes visitors of all ages to attend year-round programs and festivals, all designed to get people outside and immersed in nature. Powerful, personal experiences in nature are central to their goal of cultivating current and future generations of environmental stewards.
Volunteering Summary
Volunteers for stewardship projects would be helping manage invasive species, partake in tree planting or tree care, and help maintain the trails or displays on the property. There may be some other opportunities to volunteer with community science projects like the Amphibian Rescue Program and Christmas bird count. Each of volunteer opportunity is dependent on the season, so volunteer opportunities are not consistent throughout the year. Most of opportunities will be stewardship opportunities during the growing season (May–August).
