One opportunity is for \u201cNatural Resource Management\u201d service, such as clearing trails or other service from which Mother Nature benefits. The other opportunity is for \u201cTraining and Educating Others\u201d, such as helping with interpretive programs or other service where knowledge is imparted to others.
