Staff are working hard with partner organizations to provide a wide variety of events this year, and here is what we’ve got cooking so far.

There are stewardship workdays, a bilingual family hike, and a birding walk planned for the first part of 2024. Intrigued? Check out our Events page for more details.

Thanks to a grant from the Strong Foundation for Environmental Values, we trained several volunteers for the new Ambassador program who specialize in Environmental Education or Land Stewardship at Freshwater Farms Reserve. Volunteering can provide a deeper level of engagement with the land and the people who use it.

We are grateful for the work our volunteers are doing leading field trips, pulling invasives, and assisting with events. “It’s a great community—the people, the kids, the scientists, and the nature. It’s the best way to spend time,” said Patricia Tillotson, who volunteers as both a field trip guide and stewardship ambassador.

If you are interested in becoming an NRLT Ambassador please contact Community Engagement Manager, Matthew Morassutti, m.morassutti@ncrlt.org. You can find other volunteer events and information on our website at: ncrlt.org/volunteer-with-us.
