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.
