Volunteer Preserve Visitation Committee Members
We need your eyes, ears and muscles!  With many preserves to manage around the Commonwealth, it’s not always possible to monitor them as often as we’d like. Our goal is to form volunteer visitation committees at our public access preserves to conduct routine surveys of the preserve and note visitor activities. Committee members will also help to remove debris, fallen branches or overgrown vegetation from trails as needed with hand tools.

We are looking for long-term committed people to monitor between four and six times a year. For a more detailed job description download our Volunteer Visitation Committee flyer (doc, 1.98MB).
