Each year Iowans’ generously provide thousands of hours of their time, talents, and interests to improve Iowa’s natural resources.  Examples of this include river cleanups with our Project AWARE program to planting seedlings at our state nursery. 

All abilities and ages are welcome to volunteer.  At the DNR, the variety of opportunities are as vast as our state.  From soil conservation opportunities to water sampling, you can become involved in your outdoor passion. 

Our website will guide you to volunteer experiences that explore various interests and ability levels.
