Volunteering

Green Wave 2009Discover Life in America (DLIA) is always in need of volunteers.  We are a volunteer-based organization that has a variety of needs.  Volunteers have contributed significantly to the success of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) since the inventory began through the use of field work, education and outreach, and financial support.  DLIA could not continue to function without the use of our dedicated volunteers and supporters.
