Volunteer Opportunity Details:

We need Talking Tree Volunteers! The Talking Tree program is a delightful introductory environmental presentation for young children. The presentation addresses how trees and people are dependent on each other and emphasizes why we must plant and help care for trees. A costumed Seward Park Audubon volunteer will discuss trees, the importance of trees, and the comparison of trees to people. The Talking Tree is geared for students kindergarten and below in individual classes. Talking Tree programs will occur primarily during school hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will require some travel to local schools and pre-schools.

Youth volunteers are welcome. This is a service learning opportunity.

Talking Tree volunteers should be able to laugh and relax as well as read aloud children’s books, wear a costume, and be willing to be just a little over-the-top for our youngest audience!
