I am looking for more volunteer work, domestic or Int'l, where I can work with the conservation of a species. Anyone have any ideas where I can find some volunteer work?
Where can I find Volunteer work with Conservation?
The source below is for employment -- I've a strong admiration for this group, having encountered them on the trail a number of times -- but volunteer opportunities abound. Many areas do a yearly training program, and teach you the basics about an area so you can become a docent.
Since you didn't specify where you are, just start by checking at local parks or reserves that interest you to see if they have a program that suits you. I've been a volunteer for years, and it led to my becoming employed in the field, which worked for me!
Good luck.
Reply:The US goverment has volunteer services in this area with the NPS, BLM, Forest service, etc.
Also you can contact organizations such as Earthwatch Instititute, World Wildlife Fund, Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservancy. Check out all of these folks websites as well as COOLWORKS for volunteer jobs.
Reply:This is a great site for both paid and volunteer opportunities working with wildlife/conservation:
