Join our team!

Louisville Nature Center provides environmental education to people from all over the city and encourages stewardship via restoration of our urban forest. We are supported by a kind community of dedicated staff, volunteers, Board of Directors, and members. Our grounds include about 80 acres of forest, 2 miles of trails, a Nature Play Area, a bird viewing area, a large garden, and an education center with live reptiles and amphibians. We value our wonderful work environment, and we welcome applicants who are interested in being part of a dynamic team that is driving the growth of a beloved community non-profit. While working with children is not a part of every job, children are a constant presence here, and are central to our mission. The most successful candidates will enjoy the energy children bring to our work environment, and feel committed to our mission of environmental education and conservation. LNC strongly encourages people from underrepresented groups to apply.
