Join Us!

If you relish physical activity and spending time outdoors, this is the opportunity for you. Our hiking trails are a pivotal feature of our property and require consistent TLC to remain accessible to visitors. This includes trimming low-hanging branches, weed wacking, and posting trail markers. Additionally, our property is threatened by the encroachment of non-native, invasive plant species that outcompete our native ones. If you have a passion for removing such plants, we would love to speak with you! Non-native, invasive plant identification skills are helpful, but not required. We ask that prospective land steward volunteers agree to:

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Provide your own transportation to the Sharon Audubon Center.
  • Arrive prepared to work their shifts in varying weather conditions, within reason.
  • Volunteer at least one shift/week.
  • Provide your own equipment if it is a weed wacker, chain saw, or any other gas/electric-powered device.
