Our Staff
passionate people working together to protect our environment
Volunteering at Lakeside’s River Park Conservancy is an opportunity to care for the river, strengthen local habitat, and support a healthier environment for our community.
We welcome individuals, families, service organizations, employee groups, and community service volunteers. Whether you join us for a one-time day of service or ongoing support, indoors or outdoors, your time truly makes a difference.
