Volunteers are essential for our work to protect and conserve critical natural landscapes that remain in North Texas. In return, volunteers build new skills, take pride in protecting the natural heritage of North Texas, and become part of a community of like-minded people.

Apply your skills and experience working in field operations, education, philanthropy, outreach, or office administration. Opportunities range from one day to ongoing projects. For longer endeavors, volunteers receive orientation and training.

Rich Jaynes
Rich Jaynes does a great many things for the Meadow Preserve, including: leading restoration efforts - identifying native plant sources, organizing planting events, leading the big bluestem sod rescue, removing invasive species, serving as a liaison to other organizations, leading guided walks on habitat, plants, wildflowers, and prairie restoration. Rich has also created our current trail map, taking great care to identify habitat zones, contour lines, trails, and an overview of flora and fauna found on the property.
“Rich is passionate about the Meadow Preserve and our efforts to restore at least some portion of the native prairie. He is tireless in his efforts, willing to help as often as his schedule allows, and creative in identifying and addressing our needs. He is passionate about our work and enjoys sharing that passion with others. He is an amazing spokesman for the Meadow and Connemara.” – Michelle Schneider, Meadow Preserve Program Manager
