VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE DESERT

You can make a difference!

Have you ever thought about what you can do to help conserve desert wildlife?

Volunteer and be the change that you wish to see in the world. SCBS volunteers are a diverse group of people who share one core value: the desire to help desert wildlife thrive and to make a tangible difference. Become part of a “boots on the ground” workforce for nature, and be the difference. And remember - when we provide enough water to sustain the Bighorn, we provide benefits for many other species as well.

What we do

SCBS volunteers work directly with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, both independently or as a team with a variety of on-location projects. In an effort to improve Bighorn habitat and populations, the Society supports:
  • Development and maintenance of water resources for Bighorn Sheep.
  • Research into causes of declining bighorn populations.
  • Cooperative projects with state and federal agencies in sheep population surveys and related research.
  • Preservation or restoration of bighorn sheep habitat.
  • Preservation of each bighorn sheep population to maintain genetic diversity.
  • Reintroduction of bighorn sheep into historic bighorn ranges.

How we do it

SCBS volunteers travel with their own vehicles, hike, or use a combination of both means to the remote desert ranges where the elusive Bighorn dwell. Therefore, if you enjoy offroading and hiking in desert backcountry, you can join our organization to make a positive impact while having fun doing the things you love.

SCBS has a variety of active programs throughout the year. Some programs only need a few individuals, while other programs warrant the recruitment of a large group for 1-3 days. You can decide which project is right for you.

Most projects are announced and recruited by using email communications. Therefore, if you would like to be informed of upcoming volunteer opportunities, SCBS requests you provide both your email address and telephone number. Your privacy is respected; SCBS will not share your information with other organizations.

Membership with SCBS is not required of volunteers, but it definitely helps our mission to make a meaningful impact. Add your name to the SCBS volunteer list using the button below.
