Whale Ambassadors

Become part of the whale team at Vashon Nature Center! Help us take advantage of this incredible opportunity to study and learn from this gray whale. We are looking for volunteers to help with cleaning, cataloguing, articulation, and moving of bones.

We welcome assistance from anyone and are particularly looking for engineers, metal workers, and those with expertise in whales and articulation, as well as anyone with extra storage space. If you are interested or have any questions please contact Taylor Umetsu at taylor@vashonnaturecenter.org.
