VOLUnTEER WITH dnr
DNR offers many opportunities for individuals and groups to get involved. Volunteers weed in DNR's natural areas, clean up beaches, monitor streams, and guide school classes. Volunteers and the general public can help promote safety by keeping an eye on the lands managed by DNR and report suspicious activities such as vandalism or theft.
As Washington state faces unprecedented economic challenges, DNR will rely more and more on volunteers to help protect our natural resources, promote safe and enjoyable outdoor experiences, and maintain our recreation facilities and trails.
DNR volunteers come in all ages and from all walks of life, including:
- Candidates for the Master Hunter certificate
- Neighbors
- Recreation user groups
- School groups (K-12)
- Senior citizens
- Service organizations
- Students fulfilling requirements for community service credit
- Youth groups
