Natural Area Preservation (NAP)​

There are many ways you can volunteer year round in parks and natural areas with Natural Area Preservation!  If you're looking for a chance to volunteer as an individual or with a couple of friends,  you might be interested in our public workdays which we host nearly every weekend, check our our workday calendar​ for more details.  If you are looking for a way to volunteer as a group (such as a scout group, chuch group or corporate group), please fill out our group interest form so we can craft an event that fits the needs of your group as well as the needs of our parks.  Need community service hours, looking for ways to help wildlife, or learn more about our controlled burn program?
