Volunteers in public lands have been traditionally relegated to providing "extra hands" for trail maintenance and other similar projects. However, leveraging the skills of these individuals -- particularly corporate volunteers -- can build the capacity of your organization. Not only do corporate volunteers provide their skills, but potentially come with additional funding from their companies or corporate foundations. Learn about the tools and resources to obtain skilled volunteers and additional funding through this interactive workshop!
