We're hiring!
We’re looking for three individuals passionate about Dodge’s mission to join our team. Whether you want to care for animals and gardens, maintain essential equipment and spaces, or raise funds that support the nature center, Dodge could be the place for you.

Dodge Nature Center’s 60th anniversary (1967–2027) is coming up next year! As we prepare to celebrate, we’re gathering stories and memories from the people who make Dodge so special (that’s you).
Whether you attended a program, volunteered, or simply enjoyed time on the trails, we’d love to hear about your connection to Dodge.
