Become a Property Steward
We need people to walk our lands and let us know what we need to do to maintain them. Trees block trails, trash appears and things just happen out there in the woods. We need help keeping track and addressing issues. We also offer training in biological assessment: help us to map the species that use our properties and better develop plans to manage them.
Volunteer
Records need filing, web sites need updating, articles need to be written and so much more. Put your skills to work to help us become a better organization. Sign up for our volunteer list here.
