Volunteer Needs

Lend a hand. Leave a legacy.

While we don’t post open positions very often, you can always get involved with Wesselman Woods as a volunteer. It’s a great first step toward getting into the field!

Volunteers are the roots of everything we do—from pulling invasive plants to guiding curious kids through the woods. Your hands-on help makes a real, lasting impact on our trails, habitats, and community.


No cape required—just gloves, heart, and maybe a little bug spray!
