School Programs—Volunteers & School Financial Aid
The programs we offer to area students are amongst our most important!
We regularly offer presentations in local elementary schools and could use your volunteer assistance in coordination and setup.
We also need volunteers to work as instructor-naturalists for Conservancy field trips which we offer to local schools & students.

We would like to offer many more school presentations & field trips! Financial underwriting of presentations and field trips to The Conservancy would help make this possible.

Volunteers with Natural History Knowledge
- Are you a birder?
- Are you enthusiastic about local spiders?
- Are you knowledgeable about native plants?
- Are you an entomologist or herpetologist?
- Do you have special skills which relate to Orange County flora, fauna or geology?
The Conservancy is always looking for knowlegeable volunteers willing to lead or assist with our walks and events. TDOLC's astronomy nights, for example, are led by volunteer amateur astronomers who graciously make their telescopes available to Conservancy visitors.
You, too, can share your knowledge and enthusiasm with our visitors! You don't have to be a well-known expert—although we'll take experts, too!—just willing to share your skills with the public. If you have a program suggestion or just want to help out, please contact us.
Volunteer Work Crews
Stewardship of
Conservancy land is dependent on efforts of volunteers like you! Every month you can join our friendly, hard-working trail clearing & weeding crews. We'll even feed you!
We also need expert advice on invasive weed management.
