Through education, outreach and volunteerism, we connect people to nature and inspire a community conservation ethic.
Volunteers continue to be the lifeblood of our organization. The incredible work the Land Alliance does today could not be done without our volunteers, who support our mission while benefiting from exceptional educational, social, and fitness opportunities. To joining our amazing team of conservation stewards, please complete the form, and we will be in touch with available opportunities.

Events and Administration
If you prefer to work indoors, we would appreciate your help in the office: word processing, filing, mailings or data entry. We also rely on the wonderful support of volunteers to help plan, setup, run and break down our events.
Plant Propagation
Work in our greenhouse potting and repotting plants, sowing seeds in plug trays, and tending to the seedlings. All plants grown in the greenhouse are then used at our preserves or given to other organizations to help our native wildlife.
