Northwest Arkansas Land Trust

Fayetteville, Arkansas

Fayetteville-based land trust inviting hike leaders, land stewards, office helpers, corporate groups, and pro-bono professionals to support regional conservation.

Northwest Arkansas Land Trust permanently protects land across the region, with a core focus on Benton, Washington, Madison, and Carroll counties. Its official volunteer page invites people to lead hikes, work on protected land, help in the office, or join the volunteer mailing list for current opportunities. The organization also requests named pro-bono professional services and describes corporate conservation projects such as litter pickup, trail maintenance, habitat restoration, invasive-species removal, and citizen-science activities. Every field or group project must be confirmed because the site, task, capacity, and conditions vary.
