Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy is a volunteer-driven organization. Our volunteers are working together for a common vision — to create a place where people and wildlife thrive together.
Central Loudoun Christmas Bird Count (Register by December 26)
Join Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy in the National Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count, a community science tradition dating back to 1899. Our 15-mile count circle spans 177 square miles of Loudoun’s countryside—from Waterford to Aldie, and Ashburn to Purcellville. All experience levels are welcome. New birders are paired with experienced teams, and every set of eyes and ears makes a difference. Whether you can join for a couple hours or the full day, we’d love to have you. Questions: contact Joe Coleman at jcoleman@loudounwildlife.org or Bryan Henson at bhenson@loudounwildlife.org. More info and sign up.
Volunteers with the Salt Watch program.
Salt Watch (year round)
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s Salt Watch Program helps monitor and understand the impact of road salt on local streams. Volunteers are needed to collect monthly and winter data about the salt levels in streams around the county, especially in the Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, South Riding and Purcellville areas. Visit the Salt Watch page for more information about the program and how to volunteer.
FrogWatch Monitor (February through September)
Join our amphibian monitoring efforts by providing data about frogs in Loudoun County. Participation consists of learning the various calls of our local frog/toad species using the instructional material we provide and then monitoring a specific location of your choice for calls. FrogWatch requires minimal time commitment and is a great activity for family participation. If you are interested, please complete the Amphibian/Reptile Volunteer Application.
