South Dakota Volunteer Naturalists

Our Mission

The mission of the SD Volunteer Naturalists Program is to empower well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the well-being of the natural world and to foster people's connection with nature, the environment, and natural areas within our local communities and the state of South Dakota.

The South Dakota Volunteer Naturalists Executive Committee is a partnership of the Black Hills Parks & Forests Association,  South Dakota Discovery Center, South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks, and South Dakota State University Extension.
