 The Forest Preserve District of Will County is a
not-for-profit government agency that relies upon the public to support
its mission, not only through financial contributions, but through the
donation of time as well. The very special members of our
community who share their time with us are known as Prairie People
Volunteers. Our Prairie People Volunteers include
professionals, students, seniors, organized groups, and families. Their
generosity allows us to provide services and programs that would not be
possible without their assistance, and the work they perform
includes: - Restoring natural
areas;
- Teaching children and adults about nature
and the environment;
- Monitoring trails and
preserves;
- Answering visitors'
questions;
- Assisting at our facilities,
programs, and special events;
- And much, much
more.
The benefits of being
a Prairie People Volunteer are endless. Perhaps the most valuable
benefit of volunteering is simply knowing that you are making a
positive impact for the environment and your community. Volunteering
also provides an opportunity to learn new things and meet new people.
In addition, our volunteers are recognized with an annual Volunteer
Banquet to express our appreciation for their hard work and
dedication. Volunteer
opportunities exist for individuals and groups, and projects
can be designed for school, corporate, civic, and scout
groups. |
