About Volunteer with the Lake County Forest Preserves

Each year, hundreds of people volunteer thousands of hours in forest preserves throughout Lake County. Our volunteers play a key role in operations and public safety, habitat restoration, cultural preservation and education. There are opportunities available for individuals and groups in a variety of settings—both indoors and out. No prior experience is required, just a willingness to help. Training is provided for all positions.

Application Process

Please check out our volunteer opportunities at http://www.lcfpd.org/get-involved/volunteer/all-positions/.
If you have the time, we encourage you to explore more than one category and multiple positions. We have individuals that volunteer in many capacities. A completed Volunteer Interest Form will set the process in motion and is available using the link above.

Family-Friendly

Parents and children are invited and encouraged to get involved.
