Conservation & Environmental Stewardship
Conservation volunteers conserve natural resources on projects including ecosystem restoration, habitat monitoring, and environmental education. Winter work is primarily project planning and office-based work; fall, spring and summer work may include substantial outdoor field work for some positions. Some positions are focused on field work, other projects will focus more on environmental education and outreach to stakeholders and volunteers. Most conservation positions are with government agencies (Forest Service, US Fish & Wildlife, WV Division of Forestry) or with the local office of major conservation non-profits.
Cultural Heritage & Community Development
Volunteers help rural communities with economic development based on their cultural heritage resources and tourism. Positions will be based in specific communities around the AFNHA area, and members will be assigned individually to specific community organizations. Types of sites include heritage sites, historical societies and museums, tourism development or networking organizations, and community development groups.
