Volunteer Opportunities...

Autrey Mill is operated by the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve Association, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.  Financial support is entirely from grants, donations, memberships, and program fees.

In 1988 the Autrey Mill property was saved from development by volunteer community activists who saw a need to protect the site.  Since that time, Autrey Mill has accomplished incredible feats with little money, but lots of volunteer effort.  With 46 acres of woodlands, trails, gardens, historic buildings, classes, events, collections of artifacts and oral histories, fundraising needs, etc. - the list of volunteer options is almost endless. But here are some areas where help is needed.
