Contribute to Conservation Science
& Find Your Community

Our volunteer opportunities allow members of the community to collect data that is vital to wildlife conservation in the West. Data collection trips in the field range from one-day excursions in the Wasatch Front to ownership of a research site for an entire field season.

You can get involved in our projects in many ways, including:

  • Counting shorebirds across Utah’s critical wetland habitats

  • Documenting pollinator observations across the state

  • Building beaver dam analogs (BDAs) to restore riparian areas

  • ...and more!

Whichever project you choose, you will be making a difference for wildlife and their habitats.

It’s important to note that each project requires a different commitment level. Some require that you simply show up, while others require training and a months-long commitment. Visit our current projects page to learn more about volunteer requirements, or sign up to receive emails about upcoming trainings and opportunities.

To learn more about all the ways you can get involved, please check out our Events Calendar, give us a call at 801-328-3550, or email us.


We value the safety and well-being of each of our volunteers and staff. We are committed to creating an organizational culture where all are welcome and everyone feels supported. Volunteers and staff are required to treat each other with respect.
