VOLUNTEER

Share your love of nature with others

Help care for beautiful preserved properties, build and maintain trails to ensure our natural spaces remain accessible for everyone to explore, or share your love of nature with others through education programs. A variety of opportunities are available depending on your skills, interests, and availability. We’ll provide all the information and tools you need to feel confident.

TRAIL CARE

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS

2024 Trail Care sponsored by Mazda Toyota Manufacturing

With miles of trails, we can always use some extra hands! By giving of your time and energy, you help enhance a quality of life for our thriving community. Check our event calendar for upcoming work days.

Due to safety concerns, all volunteers must be at least 12 years old to participate. Participants under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a participating parent or guardian. The Land Trust is committed to the inclusion of all qualified volunteers including those with a disability. However, not all natural work environments are accessible. If you, or a member of your group, have special needs, please let us know the nature of the accommodation needed so that we may make every effort, where possible, to include all in the event.

Photography

We can always use professional photography from our work days, hikes, events, and trails.

Help as you Hike!

Use iNaturalist to help identify and document flora and fauna. No plant or animal identification knowledge required and the app works with any smartphone. By documenting what you find along your hike, you can help us inventory the incredibly varied species residing on our properties.
All hikers should leave no trace but you can go the extra mile by bringing along a garbage bag and gloves to pick up trash you spot along the trails.
If you see something that needs our attention, please let us know so we can correct it quickly!
