A 30-Year Conservation Legacy
Make Friends. Make Memories. Make A Difference.
The Nature Corps is the premier national network of volunteers dedicated to the preservation of America’s Parks.
A Corporate Responsibility Opportunity Your Employees Will Love
America’s corporations are taking part in a sweeping movement to preserve the magnificent beauty of our state and national parks. In the process, companies are meeting their social responsibility objectives while providing employees with meaningful and authentic team building opportunities. Through Nature Corps’ award-winning programs, hundreds of employees are teaming up to work, learn and play in intense and unforgettable volunteer expeditions at any of several state and national parks.
Nature Corps invites your company to participate in these unique, back-to-nature working adventures that will enhance employee relationships, foster team building and promote company loyalty. Your employees will receive hands-on training in a dynamic outdoor classroom where volunteerism sets the tone for learning leadership, team building, and communication skills.
Participation in this program will not require any company staff support. Nature Corps provides a turnkey service that multiplies the contribution of each volunteer in the context of team building and personal growth, all while leaving your company’s legacy in our nation’s most cherished public lands.
All-Inclusive
Too busy to organize your employees? No worries. We’ll handle every aspect of recruiting and implementing an exciting and dynamic employee outing.
Rejuvenating
It’s more than volunteering, it’s a team building event that will re-energize your employees! Culinary treats, wine pairing, photography/nature walks, all to help your savor the Yosemite experience.
Rewarding
This is like no other experience. You will come for an employee retreat, and leave a company legacy in one of our world-renown national parks.
A Benefit in Support of Our Student Volunteers
Lastly, your company’s participation in Nature Corps’ employee programs serves as a benefit in support of our low-income student volunteers who are eager to leave their personal legacy in the parks.
It’s an experience that will leave you with a lifetime of memories and personal rewards .
How can you make the greatest impact with your philanthropic and HR investment? Benefits of partnering with The Nature Corps include:
“There is something to do for everyone. I couldn’t climb up and down the hill so I found a job cutting wire and preparing the chain link fence to protect the oak seedlings from grazing deer and elk. I have lots of blisters and its hard work, but it’s not every day that you get to be a part of helping nature. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is our vacation this year for the two of us. It’s been wonderful. I think it is great that our company made this possible for us.”

“Its been a great time planting these trees with a lot of other employees. I never spend time with these people outside of work. It’s great getting together and doing something worthwhile, something that will last and something that is good for the environment. It’s been fun having my wife and son here with me and seeing them taking part in this important project.”
— David W.
“Its been a lot of hard work and sweat … and very worthwhile. It’s been great working with the employees and getting to know them better. This means a lot to me, to be out here doing something for the next generation. I appreciate the opportunity to work with The Nature Corps and that our employer has made it possible for me to come out here and be a part of this project. It’s been a time that has been very meaningful for my son and I.”
