Volunteer Opportunities

Do you care about the health of our land and water? Please consider attending an event or participating in a volunteer event to learn more and contribute to county-wide conservation efforts. Many of these events are coordinated with our partners. If you are organizing a conservation activity in Hancock County, please let us know and we will help spread the word!
