Community Science Volunteer
Get involved in science on our lands! No experience necessary—we'll teach you all you need to know. We typically work from 9:00am to 1:00pm on selected days during the month. Our location varies.

Depending on the community science goals for the day, you may be hiking, doing physical work, and/or recording observations about plants and animals. You may be using hand tools like clippers; lifting, carrying, and lowering supplies; bending over, squatting, and kneeling on dirt, grasses and weeds; and sweating.
