Restoration Supervisor Program
Overview
Restoration Supervisors are individuals who work closely with staff to help improve and maintain areas of high ecological significance in Saint Paul. These volunteers act as leaders to inspire the community to become stewards of Saint Paul’s natural areas. Restoration Supervisors assist with supervising volunteers during large habitat restoration events. They also lead small volunteer events in the absence of staff. Restoration Supervisors increase Saint Paul Parks’ capacity to engage the public in actively restoring and protecting our natural resources.
