Are you interested in stepping up your game as a volunteer? Would you like to lead others in habitat restoration events? We are looking for volunteer crew leaders for the 2020 season. Volunteer crew leaders commit to attending a few large group habitat restoration events per month, April through October. At events, volunteer crew leaders assist general volunteers in plant identification, invasive species removal and planting techniques. Volunteers must be comfortable working in variable weather conditions and spending time standing, crouching and walking on uneven ground. Crew leaders are models for safety and strong work ethics - as a crew leader, you can inspire others to become stewards of the Mississippi River! The crew leader training will be a full day (5-6 hours) of skill training including a field visit.
