We depend on volunteers for monitoring PILP lands, and for helping to revitalize specific areas: containing ‘invasives’ and planting native seedlings that will be suited to supporting that specific natural habitat.
Volunteers also help with trail work, removing blowdowns and insuring that fire hazards are minimized.
Presently, a group meets regularly at the Ice Pond Meadow and at Reservoir Road. If you are interested in providing muscle and enjoying the camaraderie, please let us know you’d like your name added to the list of people who receive regular notifications.
Volunteers may also join committees that plan and implement projects to care for our land, conduct community outreach and much more!
Stewards are PILP’s reliable eyes and ears, regularly checking the parcel of land they’ve agreed to monitor, and reporting twice yearly about what they notice there: birds and other wildlife, concerns about overuse or erosion, unwarranted human activity, areas of the parcel that need special support. If you think you would like to be a steward, please let us know. Thank you for your interest in this important volunteer work.
The board meets once a month to discuss issues related to caring for our lands, and to plan for the future. Board members may choose to participate in areas of interest beyond the monthly meetings, like invasive species control, outreach and education, etc. If you think you might be interested in serving on the board, please get in touch.
