There are always opportunities to get involved at Elkhorn Slough. There are long-term prospects and short-term projects. We encourage you to think about your interests, skills, passion, and time commitments.
The Reserve and Foundation hold public clean-up days, planting days, and general work days where we invite the public to come out, get dirty, make new friends and help out in the watershed.
Check out our calendar for upcoming public volunteer days.
We also welcome organized groups – private, corporate, community or school based groups. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator to learn more.
To be an active volunteer and Reserve ambassador, the Reserve holds a Volunteer Training Program for those who want to learn about the Slough, dedicate more time, and pursue special interests.
