Scout Projects
TWRC welcomes participation from Boy or Girl Scouts (or other organizations) interested in serving the community by helping wildlife. Scouts who would like to perform project work for TWRC are not required to attend the volunteer orientation sessions. However, project selection and scheduling must be coordinated with the TWRC Scout Liaison.
Typical scout service projects include building bird or mammal cages, constructing nesting boxes for recovering wildlife, or making educational presentations for school or other scout groups.
