Volunteers make opportunities possible
Game and Parks serves the public in many ways, including providing special events and
opportunities for the public to learn about recreation. Volunteers are essential to our mission.
Hunter education instructors certify up to 8,000 students per year and take beginners on
mentored hunts to learn safety in the field. Fishing education instructors help provide hands-on
instruction to students, adults and community fishing night participants. Master naturalists help
with many activities, teach guests about nature, participate in community science and help keep
our areas beautiful. Volunteers help with special cleanup and improvement projects. In our parks,
volunteers welcome guests and help with special events, such as the Fort Kearny Outdoor Expo
and the Missouri River Outdoor Expo.
Game and Parks thanks our thousands of volunteers for dedicating their time and talents.
