Volunteering with IAE

There are many opportunities to volunteer with IAE throughout the year with both our Northwest and Southwest offices. Volunteers work with us on a variety of projects including rare plant monitoring, seed collection, seed cleaning, plantings, native plant propagation, invasive species removal, data entry, chaperoning field trips, and more. As volunteers, you are a vital part of the IAE community. Together, we can help IAE grow and advance our mission of supporting native species and habitats throughout the Western United States. A huge thank you in advance for joining us!
