We need your help!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We are seeking members to volunteer at our Native Plant Sale during the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival (May 15 – 18). We have two areas where we need help.
  • Help sell native plants in the Migration Marketplace, which is located in an outdoor tent at the Indiana Dunes National Park Visitor Center on I-49 in Porter. No prior experience or knowledge of native plants is required.
  • Help at the Outreach table; also within the Migration Marketplace.

Both opportunities are a great way to be a part of the festival, meeting a variety of nature lovers and supporting an important DCAS fundraiser and outreach event.

Volunteers are asked to sign up in advance for 2-hour shifts during the following dates and times:
  • Thursday (May 15) through Saturday (May 17) – 10:30 am to 4:30 pm
  • Sunday (May 16) – 10:30 am to 2:30 pm​
​

Bluebird Boxes & A Purple Martin House:
We have a small team of Member Volunteers: JoEllen Raby, John & Mary Beth Witcher have started assessing the condition of the boxes located at Coffee Creek Watershed as part of their Bluebird Trail. They have found old nests and a few wintering mice! This team could use a few more volunteers. (Send an email to: [email protected]) The Purple Martin House needs some repair before it can welcome new residents.


​Common Milkweed & Butterfly Weed is growing in the Greenhouse:
Our Greenhouse Team: Barbara Endoy, Cookie Ferguson, Barbara & Marc Meijer, and Loyce Fandrei met at the end of February to plant purchased and donated seed into flats. A week later we had lots of sprouts! A big thank you to the USGS Great Lakes Science Center and Noel Pavlovik for allowing us space in their Greenhouse.
