Autrey Mill Nature Preserve is an incredible place with so many wonderful people. All of the animals at this site each have their own amazing and quirky personalities. I always leave feeling so much better after spending time with all of these amazing animals. It’s the best place to volunteer and intern. I have been an intern here for a month now and it has been the most wonderful and educational experience.

I’m an intern at Autrey Mill and I can confirm that the nature preserve is truly a wonderful place. A combination of my experience working here, and the fact that the preserve is full of wonderful people make each and every day I work here more memorable than the last.

This is literally my home. I never feel the same when I come in. I’m always feeling better with a big smile. I love the chickens the best they were so chaotic and funny.

This place is an amazing nature center, and my daughter and I are very fortunate to live so close and to be able to visit often. My daughter started doing some volunteer work at Autrey Mill in 2022, and we just love the animals and the people who work here. Jess Legato, the Education Program Manager, is an incredibly special person who educates people in a way that makes you forget that you are learning because you are having so much fun! The other interns and regular volunteers are also very sweet and funny, and we can always be sure to leave Autrey Mill in a better mood than when we arrived. Autry Mill is a perfect nature escape when we have been cooped up in the house with our electronics for too long. We love it and hope that it is around forever!

My name is Jonathan Llewellyn and I regularly volunteer at autry mill nature preserve. My time being here has been amazing, seeing all of the animals is amazing, and I have come to be amazing friends with the other interns because everyone is so nice and caring. The place is an amazing place to visit even if you are not interested in in seeing the animals because of the various nature paths, but it’s 100% worth it to pop into the visitor center and look at all of the critters. Volunteering at the nature preserve is something I look forward to every week, and I have a feeling it will stay that way for a long time.

I am a wildlife rehabilitation intern at AMNP. This program has been so amazing for furthering my education in a field I hope to enter full time. The service of wildlife rehab is so important for our community as 75% of cases are caused by human interaction. While it may seem unimportant, each individual life is necessary to our ecosystem. The heritage and conservation educational kids' programs are immersive an exciting, from cooking and crafts to homeschool programs, AMNP does an awesome job! The animals who call AMNP home are very well taken care of and content, they receive wonderful enrichment, daily care and medical care when necessary. The staff, volunteers and other interns are passionate and thoroughly educated about their conservation and heritage education. They care deeply and it shows through the friendly and welcoming environment. If you have a free weekend this is the place to spend it!

Autrey Mill Nature Preserve is a wonderful site with a variety of fun locations and activities that both children and adults can enjoy! It is also a wonderful site to volunteer at, as the staff is very nice and knowledgeable, and you get to work with their adorable animals! In addition to all of the animals they house, Autrey Mill Nature Preserve also has many historical sites, such as a beautiful old church, and a variety of trails for people of all activity levels. I simply cannot say enough good things about this place!
