SEQUIM — The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking volunteers to assist visitors and staff.
The refuge will host its annual new volunteer training from 8 a.m. to noon April 6 at the Sequim Prairie Grange Hall, 290 MacLeay Road, west of Sequim. Lunch will be provided from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m.
New volunteer training is offered only once each year and is a requirement for volunteering at the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge so those interested are urged to reserve spot right away.
In addition, the refuge will hold its annual refresher for current volunteers from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. April 6.
Primary duties of volunteers include greeting visitors and providing information about the refuge’s trails and wildlife. Additional opportunities include wildlife surveys, invasive species mitigation, habitat restoration, maintenance, beach cleanup and administration.
For more information and to reserve your space at the training, call the refuge office at 360-457-8451 or send an e-mail to david_falzetti@fws.gov.
Those who will need sign language interpreting services, close captioning, or other accommodations are asked to contact Dave Falzetti with the request at least two weeks prior to the date of the event.
