Stokes Nature Center relies on volunteers to help carry out its mission to provide nature education to people of all ages. SNC’s volunteer program offers an opportunity for meaningful community service.  As a volunteer, you will learn from experienced naturalists, develop new skills, and cultivate your love for nature.

I have to say [volunteering] is an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience. Hundreds upon hundreds of kids smiling, that feeling of really helping something we all love, and time spent outdoors are just some of the most basic rewards that you will get out of this opportunity.
— Ted T. SNC Parent, about volunteering at our special event Halloween Journey

Individual volunteers

Community Scientists

SNC has launched a Pollinator and Firefly Monitoring Project. You do not need to have any prior training to participate. Volunteers will be assisting us twice a month April-Oct setting pan traps and sweep netting at our Nibley site. For volunteers willing to undergo more intensive training we’ll need volunteers to identify and prep specimens for storage. Want to help with the project? Email education
@logannature.org for more details.

Group service projects

Group service projects vary depending on the group size. You can participate in one of our projects or create and design your very own! We also regularly work with Scouts on their capstone projects.  Please note, we do require the scout to take the leadership role in planning the project, recruiting and overseeing volunteers, and executing all stages of the project.  We’ll work to provide necessary support, and assist scouts in determining meaningful projects that will help develop skills and benefit Stokes Nature Center long after the project is completed. Contact us to see how your group can volunteer at SNC today!

Eagle Scout Projects

Thinking about doing your Eagle Scout project with Stokes? Great! To get started, there’s a helpful guide called “Eagle Project Expectations” that explains what we expect from Eagle projects. Once you’ve read through it, just send an email to community@logannature.org and we can help you move forward with your project based on the guide.
