Volunteer
Here at Fair Hill Nature Center, the core of our work lies in the continuous passion and dedication of our community of volunteers. Please join us by supporting these efforts through the following volunteer opportunities.
FIRST SATURDAYS
Join us every first Saturday of the month in spring, summer, and fall from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM! Volunteers help with a wide range of projects in and around the Nature Center, including trail maintenance, invasive species removal, gardening, deep cleaning, painting, light construction, event setup, and more. If you’re looking for an easy, flexible way to get involved, First Saturdays are perfect for you and your friends.

Special Events Volunteer
Love Frog Frenzy, Trout Takeover, the Art Festival, or Music in the Meadow? Volunteer at one—or all—of our signature community events! We’re always looking for help with setup and cleanup, staffing activity stations, and leading educational programs. From scavenger hunts and dip netting to the gift shop and raffles, your support helps us welcome thousands of visitors and create unforgettable experiences.
CORPORATE VOLUNTEERS
Looking for a meaningful team volunteer day? The Fair Hill Nature Center is a great way to give back to Cecil County. We offer a variety of hands-on projects that encourage teamwork and leave your group feeling accomplished. Our staff will work closely with your organization to design a volunteer experience that aligns with both your mission and ours.
CECIL CARES DAY AT THE NATURE CENTER
The first weekend in October, Cecil Cares is an annual countywide service event coordinated by the Cecil County Department of Community Services-Community Partnerships Division and the Cecil Cares Planning Team. Cecil Cares offers citizens the opportunity to connect and volunteer with local organizations (nonprofits, government agencies, and faith and service-based organizations) on a variety of one-day service projects throughout the County.
