It takes hundreds of people and thousands of dollars to protect the reserve. Science guides stewardship and they are both essential to protect what we love. Join our team to study and improve the reserve.
COPR has many opportunities for you to make a difference in your community. You can volunteer on restoration workdays, become a Snowy Plover docent or a tour guide, help staff the Nature Center, or become a citizen scientist. Please check each of the tabs under this page for more information. If you don’t find what you are looking for, contact the Reserve Director or the Conservation Specialist.
