Help Nurture Nature at Cedar Lake

The Cedar Lake Park Association has a long history of volunteers working together to protect, restore, and enhance the natural beauty of Cedar Lake and its surrounding parklands.

Whether you enjoy hands-on restoration work, helping at community events, sharing your professional skills, or simply learning more about the lake, there are many ways to get involved.

Volunteers help remove invasive species, plant native trees and shrubs, monitor wildlife, support educational programs, assist with communications, and contribute to special projects that improve the health and accessibility of Cedar Lake for future generations.

No experience is necessary. We welcome individuals, families, students, community groups, and anyone who cares about the future of this special place.

Please complete the form below and let us know a little about yourself and your interests. A member of our volunteer team will contact you with opportunities that match your interests and availability.

Together, we can continue the work of protecting and enhancing Cedar Lake’s natural areas for people and wildlife alike.

Nurture Nature. Join Us.
