The Wildlife Festival is the largest public event that Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge hosts and this event wouldn't be a success or even be possible without our volunteers! There are a variety of different ways to help out before and after as well as at the festival from set-up, clean-up, interpretation, working at a booth, leading a booth, and more.
