Call for Volunteers
Due to a staffing shortage, John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum
desperately needs volunteers to help out at the front desk and operate The
Friends of Heinz Refuge's Tinicum Treasures store. Warm, friendly people who
know Tinicum are needed to help John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge maintain
and enhance its public interface. The Fish and Wildlife service is relying
more and more on volunteers to staff its visitor centers. Currently almost
all of the refuge's public programs are run by volunteers. Having people who
regularly utilize the refuge gives visitors a quality visitor's service
experience by providing firsthand knowledge of the refuge from the point of
view as a visitor. Who better than to give advice on where to find a certain
bird on the refuge than someone who actually birds the refuge? If you think
you'd be interested in volunteering please contact Tony Croasdale at
215-301-7940 or email him at tony.croasdale at gmail.com
