Description
With increasing pressures on Florida's fish, wildlife, and habitats, we cannot accomplish our mission without volunteer assistance. The FWC benefits from the skills and dedication of our volunteers, and in turn, we strive to offer a fulfilling, meaningful, and satisfying volunteer experience.
Volunteers can make a positive impact by assisting with activities such as biological sampling and monitoring, habitat restoration, laboratory work, education and outreach, and more.
Volunteers work side by side with land managers, biologists, researchers and other volunteers. Volunteering a great way to meet interesting people, stay active and learn new skills.
More importantly, conservation volunteer work makes a difference and helps to preserve Florida’s native habitats and wildlife for future generations.
