Northeast Ohio Nature Preserve Steward

Save to Favorites

Thank you for your interest in helping to protect and preserve nature on our spectacular preserves all over Ohio. Our volunteer projects are centered on nature preserve management and ecological restoration activities - both of which are critical components of TNC’s work and mission.

We need your help and we want you to be part of our conservation community in your area. Participating in projects will give you the opportunity to make a direct positive impact on the environment and meet people who have similar environmental passions.

Preserve Stewards: The Nature Conservancy currently manages 6 preserves, scattered across Northeast Ohio, totaling more than 3,000 acres. They contain a variety of unique natural communities including kettle lakes, bogs and fens. Preserve steward volunteers are needed to insure these preserves get the care they deserve. There are many ways that you can help out at your favorite preserve such as with ecological surveys, trail maintenance, invasive removal, restoration activities, mowing and maintenance, data entry and record keeping.
