Weed Watchers    Weed Whackers    Streambank Stewards    Habitat Stewards    Sign Up



Natural Biodiversity needs volunteers to research, monitor, and control invasive plants – and to restore natural diversity in parks, along public trails, at river access points, on historical sites and at other community places.

  • Weed Watchers are the eyes of Natural Biodiversity. They learn how to identify and detect species of invasive plants in the Kiski-Conemaugh and upper Juniata watersheds.

  • Weed Whackers remove invasive plants by pulling, cutting, and spraying when necessary. These volunteers enable us to cut herbicide use and increase our effectiveness.

  • Streambank Stewards collect data on all plant, animal and aquatic life in riparian areas. They also plant and maintain native species to restore riparian forest buffers.

  • National Wildlife Federation Habitat Stewards (TM) create wildlife habitats in their own backyards and guide similar efforts in community settings. Natural Biodiversity is a host of the National Wildlife Federation program.

According to surveys, our volunteers:
  • Enjoy their work.
  • Say they’ve been well-trained and well-equipped.
  • Believe what they’re doing is important.
  • Feel appreciated.
