FAQ's
When can I volunteer?
-Our primary volunteer season runs from the first cool front of fall until the first freeze of winter. We pick back up in the spring until it gets too hot. We take a break in the summer due to thick vegetation, bugs, and heat. Check our Facebook events page for updates and cancellations.
What should I wear?
-Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. We recommend sturdy shoes or boots, long pants, and layers to adjust to changing weather. We provide extra gloves if you don’t have your own.
What should I bring?
-Water: Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.
-Tools: We provide tools, but some volunteers like to use their own like hoes, Mcleods, rakes, hand saws, shovels, clippers, or mattocks.
-Work gloves: We have extras if needed.
-Backpack: A small pack to carry your gear and supplies.
-Bug spray: Essential for keeping bugs away.
-Snacks: Keep your energy up with some snacks.
-Grocery bags: Great for packing out trash and litter.
-Toilet paper and Ziplock bag: Since there are no restrooms on PLC nature preserves, please pack out any waste.
What can I expect?
-Get ready to roll up your sleeves and spend time in nature! Workday tasks will vary. You might be clearing debris, building new trails, or making improvements to existing ones. Your efforts are crucial to maintaining our trails and ensuring they’re accessible to the community.
