We don't require a Ph.D. You don't need a formal title. You don't have to possess years of conservation experience or a résumé brimming with environmental qualifications. What truly matters — the sole requirement — is a passion for this place and a commitment to make a difference

We seek people who can forge connections with local businesses, schools, civic organizations, and faith communities to create partnerships that ensure conservation efforts endure. We need storytellers, photographers, writers, and friendly faces at our gatherings. We need you.

We welcome individuals who can engage their neighbors in discussions about wildlife-friendly gardening. A willingness to write letters to local and state leaders as well as assist in developing the proper documents, posts, emails, and flyers to share

our mission and outreach. 

Our mission is conservation through education and collaboration — and we pursue it one field trip, one cleanup, one community conversation, and one native plant at a time. By joining our chapter and supporting the broader network of NCWF partners across the region, you become part of the solution.
