Explore the many ways you can get involved at Green Mountain Audubon Center, including volunteering to help maintain trails, becoming a community scientist, or adopting a maple tree in our Bird-Friendly Sugarbush. We offer a range of opportunities to connect with our center and make a meaningful impact.
To get started as a volunteer, email Meghan Lee-Hall.
The Visitor Center Steward volunteer greets visitors and helps create a welcoming and inclusive environment at Green Mountain Audubon Center’s Visitor Center. They help ensure visitors have a great experience exploring the center’s trails, connecting with nature, and learning how they can take action to protect birds and their habitats.
Flexibility to work full shifts on both days is ideal, but we are also considering volunteers who have partial availability.
We always appreciate volunteer help maintaining our beautiful trails, where people connect with nature. We welcome individuals, clubs, families, school groups, and workplace groups of all experience levels!

Every month, we walk the trails of the Green Mountain Audubon Center and record counts of the birds we see or hear in eBird. This long-term dataset helps us better understand the population health of the center’s resident and migratory birds. The walks are open to the public and are a great opportunity to build your experience using binoculars and listening to bird song. Check out our events calendar for upcoming dates.
Gathering data on seasonal variations at the Green Mountain Audubon Center allows us to better understand the impact of climate change on the plants and habitats that birds rely on. Volunteers sign up to visit the center weekly, walk a mapped route, and record observations of the seasonal and life cycle events of twelve native plant species.
Caterpillars Count is a community science project designed to help scientists better understand the timing and availability of caterpillars and other arthropods. Nesting birds depend on arthropods for food, and climate change driven shifts can cause misalignment of bird migration and arthropod abundance. Volunteers at the Green Mountain Audubon Center take part in weekly arthropod surveys from late spring through summer.
