Are you looking to make a difference and have fun with friends and family? Volunteering is a great way to do that and there are a lot of ways you can jump right in.
Photographs. We are always looking for photographs for social media, our publications, and sharing with others. Let us know if you’d like to share photos of people on trails, wildlife, farms, water, and urban conservation efforts.
Trails. You can volunteer to help create new trails, or maintain existing ones, for as little as a few hours a year or on a monthly basis. No experience is needed. For example, you can help us continue building our Traverse Trail in the heart of the Tug Hill Core Forest.
Events. Serve as a Tug Hill ambassador by setting up, manning and/or taking down our booth at one or more special events throughout the year. Volunteer ambassadors chat with interested event attendees, help them complete fun informal activities and hand out conservation, natural history and organizational information. Past events have included Fort Drum’s Outdoor Adventure Day, the Salmon River Fish Hatchery’s fall annual open house, Earth Day at Zoo New York, and many more.
If you’d like to volunteer, there’s a place for you.
You can spend a couple of hours, or all day, depending on your interest and availability. From helping out in our office, providing support at events, or assisting with trails and outreach, there are many ways to get involved. Often, there is an opportunity to include friends and family as well.
Contact Lin Gibbs via email at lgibbs@tughilltomorrowlandtrust.org or call our office at 315-779-8240 to explore what feels right for you. You can watch our Facebook and Instagram pages for announcements too.
“I feel like I make a difference when I volunteer with the land trust. Whether it’s helping at an event or cleaning up a trail, I meet great people, have fun, and feel I’ve made an impact.”
