Roll Up Your Sleeves—and Make a Difference
For more than 40 years, The Nature Conservancy has partnered with the Illinois Nature Preserves Commission to support more than 140 groups that care for nature and their local communities.
Volunteer opportunities vary from removing invasive species and collecting native plant seeds to monitoring birds, tending community gardens and connecting communities to nature through outdoor programming. There is a role for everybody: individuals, families or groups.
