About

Be a Nature Ally

As humanity confronts the unprecedented challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, the demand for action is greater than ever before. The Nature Conservancy believes that together, we can find a way to meet this moment. Embedded in that belief is the understanding that the “we” must rapidly encompass more people from all ages, abilities and different cultures and backgrounds across the globe. Serving as Nature Allies, volunteers are giving back to the planet with a shared vision to build healthy, more resilient, and equitable lands, waters, and communities.

There are a wide range of volunteer opportunities available outside, indoors, and virtually from your home. On our preserves and on our partner lands, volunteers play a key role in habitat restoration, species monitoring, leading tours, education and cultural programs, and more. In select cities, we work with multiple partners to support community action that comes in many forms such as planting trees, restoring green space and/or monitoring biodiversity, mitigating urban heat, or protecting water quality. Volunteers also provide support in our offices and lend their skills and expertise on projects virtually. 
Everyone has a role to play, join us and give back to nature.

Curious about the kinds of volunteering opportunities we provide? These are just a few of the types of activities our volunteers support: 

  • Urban Conservationism
    Plant and care for street trees in your city to provide habitat and improve air quality.
  • Community Science
    Log plant data so climate scientists can compare with historical records.
  • Restoration and Education
    Control invasive species, care for native plants and monitor rare species in preserves.
  • Skills-Based
    Analyze data to improve our use of prescribed fire.


“The heating of our planet is our commons. It holds us all. To address and reverse the climate crisis requires connection and reciprocity.” —Paul Hawken, Environmentalist

Serving as Nature Allies, volunteers are helping to restore the earth with a shared vision to build healthy, more resilient and equitable lands, waters, and communities. Everyone has a role to play, join us and give back to nature.
