Volunteer At Your Local State Natural Area
Wisconsin’s state natural areas are designated to conserve the best of our state’s prairies, forests, wetlands and other habitats. These unique places support 90% of rare plant species and 75% of rare wildlife species. Nearly all properties are open to the public to enjoy while bird watching, hiking, hunting and fishing.
The DNR is actively recruiting volunteers to help care for these unique places. No experience is necessary, and training and equipment are provided on-site.
To get involved and receive notifications about upcoming workdays, sign up for email invites on the DNR’s State Natural Areas Volunteer Program webpage.
Learn more about the Stewards of the Northern Kettle Moraine through the Friends of the Kettle Moraine State Forest website.
