Open hours today are from 11am to 2pm. Please read our rules sign on your way in! Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when visiting, and no dogs of any breed or size are allowed in the field. Please do not come by if you are sick or symptomatic. Donations are not required to visit, but they are accepted and appreciated!

Parking in front of the field on N Syracuse is for Belmont Goats staff only. We are on a dead-end, residential street, and out of respect to our neighbors we ask that you please park on N Macrum. We are accessible by the 75 and 44 bus lines, and (once construction fencing comes down) by foot or bike on the Peninsula Crossing Trail.

Also, on this last day of National Volunteer Week, we’d like to thank all our volunteers, without whom it would not be possible to keep the herd happy, healthy, and accessible. See the link in our bio if you’d like to become on of them.

We're sharing some of our favorite National Volunteer Month features from recent years. 2019's web story shared both the latest accomplishments of the thousands of citizen scientists at work in the sanctuary system and a few of the many opportunities for new volunteers.

In this photo, volunteers in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary haul trash as a part of the International Coastal Cleanup, a massive global effort to clear the trash off our beaches.

Salute to Volunteers: Individuals Give Their Time to Pass On Conservation

Our 9,382 dedicated U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service volunteers in the Columbia Pacific Northwest and Pacific Islands regions gave an incredible 198,914 hours of their time to conservation in 2018. That is the equivalent of 24,864 eight-hour work days and 95 full-time staff members! These incredible folks deserve a huge thank you. 

By Brent Lawrence, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service public affairs officer based in the Pacific Regional Office in Portland, Oregon.

Volunteers play a significant role for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Our volunteers are sharers of knowledge, and givers of their time.  Individual volunteers may be the person you meet on the trail at a National Wildlife Refuge, or they may be ensuring the next generation of salmon by helping with spawning at a National Fish Hatchery.  

Together, our volunteers in the Pacific Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are an amazing force. The numbers from 2018 tell the story: Volunteers donated 198,914 hours of their time to make your experience better.

That equates to 95 full-time workers. … Let that soak in for a while.

There were 9,382 individuals who donated the equivalent of 24,864 eight-hour work days to you – the American public – by showing up to help at your National Wildlife Refuges, and National Fish Hatcheries in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. They do it because they want to pass on a tradition of conservation and wildlife to future generations.

“Words can’t fully express our appreciation and gratitude to our amazing volunteers,” said Robyn Thorson, the Service’s Pacific Regional Director. “They donate their precious time to make everyone's experience more memorable on our public lands. We can’t say ‘thank you’ enough. Our volunteers are our champions, and they help tighten the bonds we have with our local communities.”  

This week is National Volunteer Week (April 7-13, 2019) and the Service’s Pacific Region is celebrating our volunteers by sharing some of their stories with you. You’ll read about Jane Abel who works alongside her husband, Keith, to save native plants in Washington; and the late Berk Moss, who inspired countless generations with his dedication to education at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge; plus many more. Check them out this week on our Tumblr blog, Facebook page and Twitter feed.

To volunteer, contact your local National Wildlife Refuge or Fish and Aquatic Conservation station or hatchery. You can also email our regional volunteer coordinator Chelsea McKinney at Chelsea_McKinney@fws.gov for more information.

Today I won an award for the 2019 Consumer Representative Volunteer Achievement Award From Barwon Health for going above and beyond my role to ensure better patient experiences. I am very honoured to have been nominated and win this award. Thank you Rebecca for nominating me. It’s very nice to be recognised for the input I’ve had at our hospital with sitting on 6 committees/ projects. #geelong #volunteer #geelongbusiness #geelonghospital #hospital #geelonghospital #volunteerweek #nationalvolunteerweek #nationalvolunteerweek2019 #patontheback #someputposebackinlife #risingfromcancer (at Captains Room, Skilled Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxwwU0-A1Le/?igshid=1wb0joc9ossa7

During #nationalvolunteerweek one of our groups from @freshstartrecoverycentre in #calgary took the time out to give a helping hand to @twowheelsunday.yyc today. It’s awesome to get out and lend a helping hand to one of our community partners. The gentleman really enjoyed getting out, learning more about one another and are very excited to see what their hard work will be for. 2 wheel Sunday is on June 5th this year and upwards of 5000 motorcycle enthusiasts and 100+ booths come together to enjoy fellowship and to chat about their enthusiasm for #motorcycles. All are welcome and there are always some excellent sights and of course food. Make sure you come and check out the Fresh Start booth where we will have our #raffle bike on display. (Stay tuned for more info come if you) our bike run this year is on August 27th and our event page will be up shortly so make sure to come back and check for updates. #NVW2022 #EmpathyInAction #volunteersbringheart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc1MWO_PJxf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
