The Natural Resources division is revising and expanding the volunteer program. Over time we will be introducing additional volunteer opportunities to help enhance the volunteer program and give the community more options to become involved. Currently we offer SNAPS, a group that focuses on stewardship of the natural areas. Future opportunities will include; assisting with nature programs, monitoring of natural areas, trail monitoring, seed collection, and community gardens.
