North Dakota Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers will be asked to help promote and maintain local urban green spaces, assist with educational outreach, and birding events while focusing on The Urban Woods and Prairies Initiative (UWP). UWP sites present a unique opportunity for volunteers to take ownership in the long-term management and restoration of these areas. Audubon Great Plains hopes to cultivate the enthusiasm among individuals interested in land stewardship and conservation with hands-on engagement and education opportunities. 

Volunteers have worked with Audubon Great Plains staff by planning community events, including birding festivals, and helping to facilitate large group volunteer events such as:

• Removal of invasive/weedy species at our various UWP nature parks
• Pollinator garden plantings at multiple cities across the Dakotas
• Seed collecting, native prairie and tree plantings at many of our UWP nature parks
• Trash pick-up at multiple urban green spaces and UWP nature parks
