Do you have a passion for the outdoors? MDC offers flexible volunteer opportunities for individuals who want to educate others about Missouri’s fish, forest, and wildlife resources. If you enjoy teaching others about the natural world, then you should volunteer at conservation nature centers and interpretive sites. Volunteers at shooting ranges and outdoor education centers provide a safe and educational experience for hunters to improve their skills. Fishing education volunteer instructors help beginning anglers gain the skills and confidence to go fishing on their own. Your favorite conservation area may have volunteer opportunities. Projects include tree planting, habitat restoration, species monitoring, wildflower seed collection, and trail building. Contact your local regional office for more information.
