Why Volunteer for Stokes Nature Center?

Stokes Nature Center relies on volunteers to help carry out its mission to provide nature education to people of all ages. SNC’s volunteer program offers an opportunity for meaningful community service.  As a volunteer, you will learn from experienced naturalists, develop new skills, and cultivate your love for nature.

I have to say [volunteering] is an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience. Hundreds upon hundreds of kids smiling, that feeling of really helping something we all love, and time spent outdoors are just some of the most basic rewards that you will get out of this opportunity.
— Ted T. SNC Parent, about volunteering at our special event Halloween Journey

Eagle Scout Projects

Thinking about doing your Eagle Scout project with Stokes? Great! To get started, there’s a helpful guide called “Eagle Project Expectations” that explains what we expect from Eagle projects. Once you’ve read through it, just send an email to community@logannature.org and we can help you move forward with your project based on the guide.

We also regularly work with Scouts on their capstone projects.  Please note, we do require the scout to take the leadership role in planning the project, recruiting and overseeing volunteers, and executing all stages of the project.  We’ll work to provide necessary support, and assist scouts in determining meaningful projects that will help develop skills and benefit Stokes Nature Center long after the project is completed.
