The Michigan Nature Association relies heavily on volunteers to help us carry out our mission. Are you interested in:

• Removing invasive species from a sanctuary?
• Building or maintaining trails?
• Leading field trips?
• Counting and Monitoring the species found at a sanctuary?
• Becoming a Sanctuary Steward?
• Helping out in the MNA office?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Michigan Nature Association needs your help!  Every year we conduct hundreds of volunteer days throughout the state and we would love to have you join us for one or more of them.  A current calendar of volunteer days and field trips can be found here.  Email Paul Steiner for information on volunteering in the office.
