Why Volunteer?
From people already in the field
I spent two weeks in Gazi Bay planting mangroves with local women's groups. I went thinking I was going to help them. I came back realising they were the ones doing the teaching.
Priya Mehta
Field Volunteer, Kenya
I'm a GIS analyst. I spent maybe four hours a week mapping wetland loss from my apartment in Berlin. Last year that data was cited in a legal case that blocked a drainage project in Louisiana.
Tobias Krüger
Remote Volunteer, Germany
I'm 61 and I've never done anything like this. We spent a week blocking drainage ditches in the Scottish Highlands. No phone signal. Mud to my knees. Best week of the last decade.
Margaret Calloway
Peatland Volunteer, Scotland
I run wetland science workshops at two middle schools in Tampa. Kids go home and tell their parents the bay is in trouble. That ripple effect — that's the whole point.
