Photography
We need high quality images of the Preserve that we can use digitally on our website and for e-newsletter reporting. Like to take photos? We would love to use your images and credit you on our website!

Artists
We have a beautiful, natural place and often have a need for hand drawn images for print materials, gift cards and signage. Love to draw and paint? We could use your expertise at Blue Heron!

Gardening
Like to garden? Opportunities abound at the Preserve for weeding, mulching, and planting in such places as at the garden beds near the building, public trail entrances, the community garden and our butterfly garden. We need you!

Recycling and Trash
We have containers out for the public to dispose of trash they find in the Preserve. We would greatly appreciate the assistance of a volunteer to empty these containers on a regular basis.

Weekly trash pickup is needed along roadsides (Rickenbacker, Roswell and Lakemoore) and at the Emma Lane entrance.   Volunteers will also periodically remove trash along the Lakemoore/Roswell Rd pond edge.

Twitter
A tech-savvy person who could start a BHNP Twitter account and maintain it.

Volunteer Organizer
Enjoy involvement with the public and your community? Want to make a difference where you live? Help start a regular volunteer group at the Preserve! We have the assistance of Park Pride to get this started but no one to lead it. It could be you!

If you would like to volunteer, contact Nancy Jones via email.

Interested in Community Service hours? You can complete them right here at the Preserve and we are happy to sign off on any paperwork you have. We often get requests from individuals, scout and school groups and high school students needing to fill their required hours for graduation.
