How To Get Involved
Through education and community engagement we bring conservation science to action. SCBI and VWL prioritize education and training at all levels. We regularly host a variety of expert-led workshops and training courses that are open to the public – check out events calendar for more up-coming events.
VWL is a program that thrives as a collaborative network of citizen scientist volunteers, landowners, NGOs, agencies, and natural resource professionals. We engage this network in our scientific research by working with citizen scientists and landowners to collect data on biodiversity. Together, we advance and promote conservation practices across our region.
If you are interested in participating in our biodiversity surveys as either a landowner or citizen scientist, you will find more information in the following link:
