Want to Volunteer?

Volunteering is a fun way to learn about the ecology of an area. The Texas Master Naturalist program supports volunteerism, and is dedicated to developing a corps of well-trained volunteers to help with local resource management projects. This is why 40 hours of volunteer service are required each year to maintain status as a Texas Master Naturalist.

In the Sabine-Neches Chapter area, we have many opportunities for volunteer service. Some (but not all) are listed below:
