Anne Arundel County also has a number of local land trusts. As contact information is collected for these organizations, it will be posted at the links page. Whether or not you live in Southern Maryland, most land trusts appreciate volunteers, because most land trust work is done by volunteers. If a land trust already exists in your area, contact it for volunteer opportunities and to find out its needs. Different land trusts have different needs, personalities, and agendas.
Some land trusts welcome volunteers and do a good job utilizing their skills.
Some land trusts don't know what to do with them. If your local land trust does not know what to do with volunteers or does not have the time to recruit them and coordinate their activities, offer to become the volunteer recruiter and coordinator. There is nothing volunteers don't do for land trusts. If, given your profession, you can provide goods or services that can help your local land trust while providing you a charitable contribution, consider doing so. For example, if you own a title search business, consider helping the land trust with title search work.
