Teen Conservation Ambassadors at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary

Calling all teens interested in the environment! Our Teen Conservation Ambassadors program connects youth aged 13 through  18 to hands-on conservation and environmental projects on Long Island. Our meetings, events, and projects allow youth to steward and improve our environment alongside others who are passionate about the planet, all while working with conservation professionals and learning about the field.

Since 2019, we have offered a number of projects and events to get involved with, including:

• Planting native plants at local sites
• Protecting nesting shorebirds by installing fencing
• Beach cleanups
• Building fishing line recycling bins
• Participating in a Teen Lobby Day
• ...and so much more!
