Volunteer & Engagement
Learn new skills, connect with others, and make a difference where you live.
Community engagement and volunteerism bring people together to care for the land and water that sustain us. Whether you’re planting trees, restoring habitats, or tracking local wildlife, hands-on conservation efforts create lasting benefits for both nature and communities. Getting involved is a chance to learn new skills, connect with others, and make a real difference where you live.
Conservation districts help communities take action by offering volunteer programs, training, and support for local projects. Whether you’re interested in habitat restoration, water quality monitoring, or tackling invasive species, your local district can provide the tools, knowledge, and connections to get started.
