Over 150 of your friends and neighbors currently volunteer for The Land Trust. We have numerous committees helping guide all aspects of The Land Trust’s important conservation work, in addition to our day-to-day work and events planning. For most of our committees, there are no specific skills needed other than enthusiasm for learning what we do.
Check out our volunteer needs below and let us know where you would like to help out! If you have special interests or skills to share, such as music, photography, writing, graphics, etc., please email us!
