Parks —Each year, park volunteers serve as campground hosts, visitor center attendants,
naturalists, and assistants on special projects. They volunteer so that current and future
generations may enjoy these special places as much as they have. [Learn more]
Check Stations—Check station volunteers measure elk and deer
antlers, pull incisor teeth for aging, and collect information from hunters regarding where and how
they hunted and their success. It is a good opportunity to get your hands dirty and to interact
with the public. Those with experience, and/or desire, will have the opportunity to undertake the
messier tasks (e.g., pulling teeth). Those who would rather observe such tasks will be asked to
record and tally information. For more information, contact the region where you would
like to volunteer.
Fishing Instructors —Youth leaders, classroom teachers, fishing club members, and civic leaders are encouraged
to serve as volunteer fishing instructors. Start an after-school fishing club, offer a summer
enrichment class, build a school event around a fishing clinic, assist with a local school program,
or host a fishing clinic in your own community. [Learn more]
Hunter Education Instructors —Montana's volunteer instructors offer about 500 courses of hunter and bowhunter education
every year statewide. Instructors may post their classes from this site. [Learn more]
Wildlife Center Rehabilitation —At the Center we care for mammals such as bears from around the state. Caring for these
animals takes a lot of time and volunteers are the backbone of our program. [Learn more]
Wolf Program —The wolf program periodically uses volunteers to assist with field-based monitoring
efforts to document wolf activity in the spring and summer months. Volunteers may also help with
other field work such as wolf-livestock conflict management or data entry. [Learn more]
