We are a small team with many different projects, needs and opportunities for involvement. If you have a talent, interest, skill or passion that you would like to share or develop in service of our place-based research and outreach, we would love to hear from you.
Volunteers in the past have spanned many ages, from adolescents to retirees, and have contributed to our work in a wide variety of ways. Below are a few examples of past volunteer activities, though please don’t feel limited; we are always interested in new volunteer collaborations that build on people’s unique gifts and interests.
