Volunteer and Upcoming Events

Volunteer Opportunities

SWMLC volunteers provide immeasurable assistance to our conservation efforts, allowing us to broaden our resources.  There are many different ways to volunteer, depending on your area of interest. 

Volunteers are needed for stewardship work at preserves and other areas.  Jobs include: lopping brush and pulling invasive plants; conducting species inventories; setting up and staffing information tables for events; archiving photographs at the SWMLC office; stuffing envelopes for mailings; and taking photographs at preserves, easements and at special events.

Volunteers also serve on committees such as Outreach Team, Stewardship Team, and Land Protection Team, or on our Board of Directors.

This is only a partial list of ongoing activities requiring volunteer assistance.  Your support as a volunteer will have a lasting impact on the natural and scenic features that make our region so unique.  Please contact us if you would like more information or complete our volunteer form (pdf 331 KB) and mail or fax it to SWMLC at 6851 S. Sprinkle Road, Portage, MI 49002, 269/324-9760.
