Thanking Spring Planting Volunteers

Spring Planting Partners

Our thanks to the partners who assisted with 2009 tree planting efforts.

A little elbow grease is worth its weight in gold at The Nature Conservancy’s Delaware chapter. Throughout the year, we’re looking for people willing to help out with invasive weed control, horseshoe crab surveys, photography, tree planting, research projects, community events and general office assistance.

Please make sure to R.S.V.P. the contact name for all volunteer events. To make things easier, fill out an online volunteer information form to participate in these or other volunteer opportunities at the Conservancy’s Delaware chapter.

Staff a booth at community events. Contact Chelsea Todd, Operations Specialist (302-654-4707 x120 or delaware@tnc.org) to sign up for a one or two-hour shift.

Get your hands dirty during a work day. Help at a nature preserve, especially on weekdays between June and October. Contact John Graham, Land Steward (302-584-5680 or jgraham@tnc.org) to receive more information.

Participate in the annual Horseshoe Crab Survey. Contact Lois Davis, Volunteer Coordinator, (tnchorseshoecrab@aol.com).

Horseshoe Crab surveying takes place on 12 seperate nights during in May and June each year. Count teams of three or four head to the Big Stone and Bennetts beaches during high tide in the evening to count and sex the crabs and record their findings. This information is later collected and used by the University of Delaware in their study of Horseshoe Crabs.
