The Nature Reserve volunteer program strives to offer opportunities for all, so that no matter the background, skill set, or experience with nature, there is something available for every volunteer to connect and create community. Together with our volunteers, we continue to follow a “Culture of Care,” preserving the land for ecological, educational, charitable and recreational uses.

Our volunteers help with school and community education programs, outreach at local festivals, trail maintenance, supporting hikes as trail sweeps, and even training new volunteers.  We have volunteers that work in our office doing data entry, others that help maintain our native plant gardens, and passionate naturalists that lead lectures and walks. Scouts have helped us with special projects like bridges and fencing and volunteers skilled in carpentry have built equipment to improve our teaching areas. The Nature Reserve is fortunate to have a diverse group of volunteers offering unique skills, experiences, and perspectives.
