Volunteer

Bartel Grassland needs active and ongoing restoration to enhance habitat value for native plants and animals and to protect water quality. Volunteer groups play a key role in the grassland’s stewardship efforts.

By volunteering with us, your group can:

•  join with others to increase the livability of your community now and for future generations.
• get outdoors in a beautiful natural area.
• connect to nature in your neighborhood.
• enjoy a hands-on learning experience.

We provide tools, snacks, water and guidance to ensure a safe, enjoyable and productive day.

Some areas where you can help include:

• ecological monitoring,
• research projects,
• art/design, photography,
• newsletter (writing/editing stories),
• prairie planting,
• seed harvesting/cleaning,
• invasive plant control,
• oral history recording,
• and more…..

Learn more about the volunteer opportunities and our upcoming trainings in late June and July 2011
