The Pascommuck Conservation Trust Needs You!

Interested in protecting the environment? Concerned about land and wildlife protection, sprawl, and clean water? Ever wanted to get involved with environmental issues but have limited time or don't know how? Then the Pascommuck Conservation Trust is your answer. We offer you the chance to “Think globally and act locally” within your own timeframe, abilities, and interests.

The Pascommuck Conservation Trust is in need of volunteers of every skill level and ability for whatever time and energy you are willing to commit. We are an entirely volunteer organization, and truly appreciate all help that people can give. Perhaps you enjoy working outside in nature. Or meeting and talking to new people. Or writing about the environment and your community. Or you have a particular skill you enjoy using in art, woodworking, computers, finance, etc. We welcome you.

We are seeking volunteers on a number of different levels. The PCT is recruiting new Board of Director members who are willing to commit to one meeting a month along with other responsibilities commensurate with their skills and their personal level of dedication. Board members vote on issues such as property acquisition, property maintenance, fundraising, etc. For anyone with financial skills and interests we are also in need of a new Treasurer due to the retirement of Ed Dwyer, a dedicated and valuable asset to the organization (see related article).

There are a number of PCT “Special Project Volunteers” who are involved on a less time consuming but equally vital role within the organization. These non-voting members volunteer for projects they enjoy within a timeframe that fits in their own personal schedule. Their tasks range from property clean up to sign making to writing thank you notes and anything in between.

So if you would like to help your community and the environment and you have some time to spare please consider volunteering for the Trust. You will find it a rewarding experience available right in “your own backyard”. For more information please contact us 413-529-9594 at land@pctland.org. You'll be glad you did.
