Our volunteer and training calendar is free and open to anyone to post a stewardship or citizen science experience in New England.

*NOTE: as of June 2025 we are experiencing technical issues with the website and are unable to post new events. We're working on a resolution, in the meantime you're welcome to still submit events through the form and we will post them as soon as we are able. If you any questions or issues reach out to Charlotte at charlotte.thompson@unh.edu. 
 

What You'll Get by Posting on Nature Groupie:

  • Access to mobile-friendly, online volunteer registration. The contact person will receive an email with contact information for each registrant.
  • Promotion of your event in our weekly e-bulletin that reaches thousands of potential volunteers.
  • Assistance with best practices for volunteer recruitment. We review each submission and may suggest improvements to recruit more volunteers.

Best Practices for Volunteer Experiences:

  • Post as far ahead of time as possible - 2 weeks at a minimum.
  • Appropriate topics include volunteer workdays related to caring for land and water, projects on conserved or public lands, citizen science projects, and workshops which teach a stewardship- or science-related skill.
  • Planning a workday? Check out our new Workday 101 guide for helpful tips and tricks.
  • First time posting to the calendar? Get Help Hosting an Experience on this Site.
