To become a part of the Saylorville Lake Volunteer Team fill out the Volunteer Application and check those areas in which you are interested in participating. The following are descriptions of the volunteer positions. Some positions have limited space available. You will be contacted as these positions open up. Volunteer Positions Butterfly Gardening Volunteers are assigned a flower bed in the Butterfly Garden area located just north of the Visitor Center on the bike trail.
Gardeners help plan, plant and maintain each bed.
This position takes just a few hours each week during the growing season. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the many gardening techniques and the wide range of butterfly species that can be attracted here in Iowa. Plants and equipment are provided by the government. Bluebird Nest Box Monitor Take a nice relaxing walk as you check for signs of nesting birds in the bluebird boxes all around the lake. Volunteers are assigned an area at the lake with 6-12 boxes.
