Mark Sandfort
Mr. Mark Sandfort has been selected for the Monthly Volunteer Recognition Award for February 2012. He has been an amazing volunteer at Sulphur Creek Nature Center since 2006 and has donated over 1,400 volunteer hours since becoming a volunteer.
He volunteers every Monday afternoon to help with animal care, which involves feeding resident birds, resident mammals, all the reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates in the Discovery Center, and the rehabilitation animals that are in outside enclosures. Mark also helps with the feeding of baby birds, putting the opossums, ducks and chickens away each night along with all the other closing activities. He also jumps in and helps the hospital staff when needed, holding such things as red-tailed hawks or barnyard animals while they administer treatment. Recently he had to hold numerous ducks while they were being tube fed, since we had over 330 ducks with botulism come through the hospital since last September.
