Located in Ladue, this unique, 34-acre study center encompasses a rich variety of habitats including bottomland forest, restored prairie, and an urban creek.
LREC relies upon two groups of volunteers: Volunteer Educators and Horticulture Volunteers.
VOLUNTEER EDUCATORS
Share your time and talents to lead small groups of school children in ecological investigations and explorations of the natural world. Facilitate outdoor learning activities designed by teachers that support their curricular goals.
Weekly availability for 2–3 hours at a time on weekdays during the school year, with occasional opportunities during the summer.
HORTICULTURE VOLUNTEERS
Maintain and develop native ecosystems within LREC:
- Remove invasive plants
- Propagate and plant native species
- Collect and clean seeds
- Occasional work on special projects
Weekly availability on Tuesday or Friday mornings all year round.
