COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Grassroots Ecology leverages the power and passion of thousands of community members each year to learn about and restore local ecosystems on public lands.  We strongly encourage people from all identities, backgrounds, and abilities to participate in our programs, including volunteer events, naturalist education, internships, after-school programs for youth, and more.


We envision vibrant, healthy lands and human communities that support and sustain one another and are resilient and adaptable to a changing world. Join us!
