Battle the Bittersweet at North River Preserve! Our Stewardship Coordinator will be working with a small group of volunteers to remove the regrowth of invasive bittersweet from the North River Preserve in Nottingham on Thursday, September 2nd at 9:00 AM Contact us if you're interested in lending a hand! Stewardship / Monitoring: Assist with property and trail maintenance at special field day events, or become a Volunteer Monitor and make annual visits to a conservation easement property. Training is provided to ensure monitors are comfortable and understand their responsibilities.
Office Administration: We can always use extra hands with in-office file organization, database entry, Land Trust Alliance accreditation standards, mailings, and more. Board / Committee Member: Volunteers with a specific interest are welcome to join our Land Protection, Finance, Membership Development, and Outreach & Education committees. This is a monthly commitment to share your passion and expertise with Bear-Paw. All committee meetings are in the early evenings, and may be held in person or on Zoom. Event Support: Event-specific assistance with outreach across the region, and helping to organize, set up, and run Bear-Paw events. Other ways you can volunteer your time: Ambassador: Do you love to take photos? Bear-Paw can use your pictures to promote our beautiful region and the importance of land conservation. Photos are shared on our website and social media, with all credit to the photographer. Citizen science: Keep track of the plants and animals you see on Bear-Paw properties using iNaturalist or eBird. Leading walks: Bear-Paw hosts a number of walks on our conservation properties each year and we are always looking for enthusiastic leaders. The walks can be exploratory - good friends getting outside together - or they can also focus on a specific nature-related topic. If you have relevant experience you would like to share with others in the region, this is an excellent opportunity to do so. Thank you for your support in protecting our region's water, wildlife, habitat, forests, and farmland. Our success is because of volunteers like you! |
