The Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is very fortunate to have a staff of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers who share more than their love of nature. They have helped nurture the park to grow and blossom so that the visitors not only experience the beauty of the Slough, but learn about a whole new and exciting ecosystem, too.

Enthusiastic volunteer participation has enabled us to expand:
· Guided Nature Walks
· Special Events
· Hands-on Interpretation
· Land Stewardship
· Programs for School Groups

Our volunteers know how to make a visitor’s face light up with discovery!
