Volunteer Opportunities

Warren County SWCD has many opportunities for interested citizens who would like to volunteer with the District. Volunteer opportunities are open to most ages, scouts, community groups or anyone interested in soil and water conservation efforts in Warren County.

Earth Team Volunteer Waivers are required for our volunteer opportunities.

Since 1985, Earth Team volunteers have provided a valued source of talent and enthusiasm to the USDA/NRCS. Every day, these dedicated volunteers work with conservation professionals on private lands to improve soil quality, conserve water, improve air quality and enhance wildlife habitat.

Available to anyone 14 and older, the Earth Team provides a variety of opportunities: full- or part-time; outdoor or indoor activities; and as an individual or part of a group. There is something for everyone!

Stream Clean-Ups

Learn More/Volunteer

Warren County SWCD cares about the health of our local streams! Occasionally, we organize stream clean-ups. We work with scouting groups, volunteer groups or interested citizens to
form clean up efforts.

Storm Drain Tagging

Learn More/Volunteer

Warren County SWCD works with area municipalities and townships to tag drains. These drain tags educate the public about the path the stormwater takes from catch basins to our rivers and lakes. They serve to warn the public that pollution that enters our catch basins will find its way to our streams and lakes, affecting the wildlife and habitat that makes its home in these local waters.
