Volunteer service is the reason for our existence.
Chapter members must contribute 40 hours of volunteer service annually to retain certification in the Texas Master Naturalist program.
Our members make a difference in more than 80 chapter-approved volunteer projects across our ten-county service area.
Calling for Volunteers
Our chapter’s approved volunteer service projects provide many opportunities for meaningful service. Members are free to volunteer on any approved project in any of our ten counties. Provide service on as many or as few projects as you choose.
