Protect all the beautiful nature in San Diego + enrich community!

The Board of Directors for Nature Collective is seeking individuals to serve on its board. Nature Collective is a local conservation and science education nonprofit organization. We work to restore habitats and provide healthier waters and greater wildlife diversity. We are dedicated to conserving the land and providing experiences for people to fall in love with nature.

We uphold the values of justice, equity, inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility when serving those growing up devoid of nature, those who remember nature and want to connect back to it, and those who already have an affinity with the outdoors. Be part of the urgent effort to save our natural wonders from disappearing forever.

Accepting applications now through September 30, 2024.
