Force of Nature Volunteer Meet and Greet

Do you enjoy the outdoors? Are you looking for rewarding volunteer opportunities?


Natural Lands Trust's Force of Nature Volunteer Program offers a chance to learn valuable land management and conservation skills and become a valuable member of the Natural Lands Trust team.


Force of Nature trainees participate in five training sessions covering a variety of land management and restoration techniques that can be handy everywhere—even your backyard! Following training, Force of Nature program graduates apply their knowledge as long term volunteers with Natural Lands Trust. Many volunteer roles and projects are available, from administrative work to tree care.
