Open Space
Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis. If you are applying for Open Space Stewards, Trail Ambassadors, Naturalists or Community Event Volunteers, you can check one or more positions under "Volunteer Groups to Apply For" in the application. The Shack Volunteers is a separate application you'll need to complete.
Volunteers play an important role in advocating for open space and caring for parks by contributing over 500 hours of service every year. Volunteers come in the form of individuals, families, students, youth groups, corporate teams, neighborhoods, and more. Each hour generously given greatly impacts our community and our natural resources.
