Making a difference in your community

Volunteer-driven grassroots groups like the Woods & Wetlands Group have a direct personal stake in protecting our air, water, and open spaces. We understand local culture and politics. We do the plain-Jane work that needs to be done — for environmental and social justice causes.

Ready to make a difference on issues you care about? The Woods & Wetlands Group welcomes volunteers for one-time tasks, leadership roles, and everything in between.

Many volunteer opportunities with the Woods & Wetlands Group involve as little as 2 hours a month. Here are a few examples:

• Bring refreshments to program meetings
• Invite members to events
• Help plan outings
• Sample local waterways
• Meet with local elected officials
• Staff tables at community events
• Update data records
• Meet people interested in joining our movement

You can make a bigger difference than you realize with just a few hours each month. And when we multiply those hours by dozens — or better yet, hundreds — of members, we become a powerful force for positive change.

Take the first step

• Email a committee chair or other volunteer leader 
• Fill out a volunteer interest survey 
• Chat with current volunteers at a program meeting
