NOTE: Safety for volunteers, visitors and staff is our top priority. Due to COVID-19, volunteers will be required to follow additional guidelines while volunteering to help keep everyone safe.
Volunteers with well trained dogs support Bend Park & Recreation District's goose management program on park district properties.
Adult volunteers and their dogs visit parks and trails regularly to help encourage the goose population to move out of the parks. This effort helps minimize the impact of the geese on the parks.
Interested volunteers must complete a volunteer application and a criminal history background check will be processed. Dogs must be able to reliably respond to owner commands when off-leash and the volunteer/dog team must attend an evaluation with a trainer before approved to volunteer. Volunteers must attend an annual training/program update meeting in the spring, agree to the requirements of the opportunity and complete monthly volunteer service reports.
