We've had several very successful Children's Animal Center Volunteer Days. The next Volunteer Day is September 11, 2010 starting at 8:30 am. Come on out to lend a hand and receive a free tour! Contact cac@FossilRim.org to volunteer. We need all the help we can get in order to make the new CAC a reality!

Work to be done:
- Leveling out dirt in the yard
- Fencing
- Prepping areas for painting
- Any other work that may need to be done

If you have children that would like to help out, ages 9 and up, bring them too. We should have plenty for them to do.
We will have water, snacks, sun block, and tools along with some work gloves on hand. If you have your own work gloves, please bring them so we don't run out. It is always a good idea to bring a water bottle and to wear sturdy shoes. We will not be providing lunch, but feel free to pack your own or enjoy a meal at our café at the overlook! As soon as we are done working and sweating we will be offering a free guided tour of the park (with some stops at our behind the scenes areas) to anyone that comes out and lends a hand.
We will meet up at the Children's Animal Center at the Overlook. There is a map of the area here.
Please let us know if you plan on attending so that we will have enough water and snacks on hand. We will also need to know how many would like to take the FREE guided tour too!
Skilled Help Needed
Irrigation System
So much progress has been made at the Children's Animal Center in the last few weeks! We are now getting ready to do landscaping in the yard. Before we do so, we need to install a new irrigation system in the yard and areas to keep our new plants and grass growing! Unfortunately, due to budgetary constraints we really need some volunteer workers to instruct us on how to install this new system.
Do you or someone you know have experience in laying out or installing yard irrigation systems? We need some help! We will purchase all supplies and materials and also have a team of workers to help with the installation process.
Skilled Painters
We also are in need of skilled painters. The metal beams on our seven free flight aviaries need to be painted. As much as we would like this to be a project that anyone could help with, we need volunteers with some experience in painting to ensure the results are a quality appearance. If you or someone you know has done some painting here and there, we would love to have them come out and give us a hand. There is no set day or time to do this, whatever is convenient for you! Please just let us know when you plan on coming out so we can have all the supplies ready to go. As with all the other volunteering opportunities we are more than happy to allow our helpers a free pass through our park!
Please let us know if you can help out!
