Local Volunteers
We welcome local volunteers who are passionate about helping out with essential farm tasks. Volunteering involves hands-on work, such as cleaning animal shelters and maintaining paddocks, usually in 2-hour shifts. We love the community's interest in our animals, but it’s important to note that volunteering is about supporting the sanctuary's daily operations. If you’re eager to lend a helping hand, please get in touch!
