The Nature Conservancy preserves plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. Operating in the United States for the past forty years, the Conservancy also has Latin American, Caribbean, and Pacific programs that have helped protect millions of acres outside the United States. The Conservancy owns and manages more than 1,600 preserves throughout the U.S., the largest private system of nature sanctuaries in the world. Volunteers are needed to assist with tree planting, boundary posting, trail maintenance and construction, erosion control, fence repair and trash removal. Students must pay for food and transportation.
Students can stay at a nearby state park in exchange for similar work in the park.
