The Foundation of the Conservancy Volunteers have played an important role in the Conservancy since its inception and participate on every level of the organization. In Connecticut, we work closely with our volunteer board of trustees and committee members.
Volunteers are also heavily involved in the stewardship of chapter preserves.
Maintaining 55 preserves is a daunting task for our two preserve stewards, and would be impossible without the help of this loyal, hardworking group. Volunteers come to The Nature Conservancy for an assortment of reasons. They range from children who accompany their parents to a piping plover nesting site, to local college students who work in the office for a semester, to people who can only spare an occasional weekend. It is easy, however, to see the cumulative effect of even one day's work from several volunteers. Two volunteers who make a difference at The Nature Conservancy, Connecticut Chapter.
