Enjoy working outside?  How about giving a hand-up to nature?  JDCF is looking for volunteers to help with a variety of land stewardship projects.  This is your chance to participate on a prescribed burn, join workday teams to battle invasive species at one of our preserves, or plant trees as part of ongoing restoration plans.  Great opportunities for individuals, Scout troops, church and school groups looking to give back to their community.

Have you ever thought about becoming a citizen-scientist?  How about giving tours of beautiful places to area residents and visiting tourists? Maybe you enjoy planning outdoor events like mothing parties, luminaria hikes, or experiences in nature for youth? JDCF offers many volunteer opportunities to people of all ages through our Education and Outreach Program.

Looking for a way to get your steps in while exploring spectacular pieces of property?  JDCF is looking for volunteers to monitor our preserves and lands under conservation easement by walking them and taking photos for documentation.  Many of these properties are privately owned making this a unique opportunity to see new parts of Jo Daviess County.
