Become a Calvert Steward!
The Calvert Stewards volunteer program provides an opportunity for public service in education, research, and stewardship which support the overall missions of the Calvert County Division of Natural Resources and the Calvert Nature Society. This benefits the participants, the parks and the community as Calvert Stewards use and develop their skills to form an environmentally aware community and become the environmental stewards of Calvert County. We also encourage youth and families to volunteer for projects to create a pipeline of engaged citizens that will continue their involvement in the parks into adulthood. To become a Calvert Steward signup on our new web portal: calvertstewards.galaxydigital.com Read the Summer Volunteer Dress Code | Annual Reports |

City Nature Challenge
Do you like observing nature? Make your observations count! The City Nature Challenge is a friendly worldwide competition among metro areas to see whose residents can spot and identify the most wildlife. We’ll be looking for signs of life in local parks, neighborhoods, and backyards to see what plants and animals share our environment. Join the City Nature Challenge and become a citizen scientist!
