Lincoln Park Conservatory

I meant to finish this up and post it around February, but I've been busy with life! Finally, here's the post about my visit to LP...

I compiled a list of local area organisations that are always looking for volunteers in a blog post, and decided it would be a good idea to make it a page for easier access to readers.

I've had many incredible experiences volunteering with different groups in my area! Here's a list of nature-related volunteer opportunities for anyone who may be interested.

If you think another organisation/program should be listed, comment on this post or e-mail me at ashleynwold@yahoo.com, and I'll add it!
