Volunteer

We rely on our incredible volunteers for everything from organizing special events to cleaning up local riverbanks. We have numerous opportunities available including office assistance, helping with educational field trips, leading hikes and paddles, joining our trail maintenance crew and so much more!

We are always excited to explore new ideas and connect with our community. Let us know how you would like to get involved or what questions you may have by filling in the form below. Someone will be in touch soon.

Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving tradition? 🍂

For the team at the Westerly Land Trust, one of our favorites has become our annual hike out into the woods of Barlow Nature Preserve in late November to take a group photo. We coordinate a clothing accessory— last year was scarves; the year before that, flannel shirts. This year we chose vests. Someone joked that the caption should read:

Thank you for inVESTing in local land conservation.
(I’ll spare you the details of which teammate made that dreadful pun.)

Joking aside, 2024 was a big year for the Westerly Land Trust: Our education program is booming, complete with a new program designed for our community’s homeschool families. We successfully transferred the Ice Rink to the Town of Westerly— a big win for our Urban Initiative. And most recently, we grew by 90 acres with the permanent protection of Champlin Farm Preserve. 🌳

These Westerly Land Trust successes belong to our community—the real drivers of our growth and achievements.

Without you, we couldn’t do what we do. And maybe it’s this recognition that makes our annual November stroll into the woods that much sweeter— it is a time for us as a team to reflect on the work we do, where we do it, while thinking of the people who make it all possible.💚

From all of us at the Westerly Land Trust, 
Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
