Volunteer
Big River Big Woods sponsors a number of service projects. We invite anyone who is interested in helping restore native landscapes to donate time to one or all of these projects.
Come when you can and leave when you need to!
If you would like to volunteer for one or more of these service projects, send a note to contact@bigriverbigwoods.org and we will get back to you with the most up to date details.
Also, we encourage you to take a look at out our Volunteer Questionnaire and check off the opportunities that interest you. Someone from the board will follow up with you.
