Why Volunteer with SLC Public Lands?
Salt Lake City Public Lands’ Stewardship Program connects individuals and communities to volunteer opportunities at local natural areas in order to inspire investment and care of these shared spaces. Through the program, community stewards work collaboratively with Public Lands staff and partners to protect, maintain, and restore the natural integrity of our city’s wilder, more biodiverse properties.
