About Quantico's Conservation Volunteer Program
Location:
27007 Telegraph Road, Stafford, VA 22556, US
Mission Statement
The goal of the Conservation Volunteer Program is to manage and restore nearly 60,000 acres of forest and wetland habitat at Marine Corps Base Quantico.
Description
The Conservation Volunteer Program (CVP) formally began operation in 1986. Since its
inception, over 200,000 hours of service have been provided to help manage natural and
cultural resources on base. Active duty and retired military members of many ranks and civilians
of diverse professions are involved in the CVP and represent a strong cross-section of the
community. While many volunteers have joined the CVP because of their interest in hunting and
fishing on Base, the program has a variety of projects for anyone attracted to the camaraderie
that can be found through a shared interest in nature. Volunteers are assigned projects and are
supervised by Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs (NREA) staff members.
