Friends of Lakeside Nature Center
From its founding in 1983, Friends of Lakeside Nature Center (FOLNC) have supported the Center with volunteers and funding.
After completing a training course, there are several volunteer opportunities with FOLNC.
They can assist with educational outreach to schools and groups, event staffing, native gardening, invasive species removal on the Fox Hollow trail system and animal care for our animal ambassadors and/or animals in the rehabilitation hospital.
