Volunteer for Wildlife and Wild Places

Protecting wildlife and wild places takes more than good ideas – it takes people willing to show up, learn, and work together.

Conservation Northwest volunteers play an important role in advancing our mission, from supporting community events and outreach to contributing to long-term conservation efforts across the region.

Habitat Restoration Work Parties

Help restore native plants and vegetation in key wildlife crossing areas across the state. These planting and invasive plant removal events typically take place from March through October, and all tools and plants are provided. Volunteers play a direct role in improving habitat quality for wildlife while working alongside others in the community.
