“Volunteering for KS Wild has helped me find my interests and what I am passionate about. I have always loved the natural world, but KS Wild’s work has caused this interest to expand and blossom in me. KS Wild has successfully helped protect many unique wild places in the local bioregion and when I volunteer for the organization, I feel like I am helping to support an organization that gets the job done.”
- Youth Volunteer, Ayani Mikasi
