Volunteer Opportunities
	At Ledge View, volunteers support the future. Their hard work of “yesterday” is what visitors see today—an observation tower, an exhibit hall, museum-quality exhibits, an arboretum, equipment for maple syruping, children’s smiles, etc. Membership in the Friends of Ledge View helps provide funds for live animal maintenance and equipment for educational programming. The Friends group also sponsors four fundraisers annually, and assists with seasonal operations at the park. Members are as active and involved as they want to be.
