Glen Helen is a nature preserve with 1,000 acres of flora and fauna and

protect the Glen for present and future generations by engaging in land
stewardship, education, community outreach and service, and
research.
Important
components include the Outdoor Education Center (OEC), Raptor Center,
and Trailside Museum. The oldest of its kind in the Midwest, the
Outdoor Education Center provides residential and off-site programs for
over 3,000 elementary and secondary school children each year, as well
as academic internships for undergraduate and graduate collegiate
naturalists.
The
Raptor Center is a specialized part of the OEC serving as an
educational and rehabilitation resource for birds of prey. Trailside
Museum has live animals, exhibits, maps, and other resources that help
educate Glen visitors.
Volunteers
needed: plenty of volunteer needs for stewardship, staffing Trailside
Museum, working with educational programs including hikes, producing
mailings, helping to coordinate art exhibits, staffing special events,
and much more.
