Volunteer Projects in Rhode Island
Preserve Monitor
Volunteering can be as easy as taking a walk in the woods! Stop by your favorite TNC preserve once a month and report back on trail conditions. Your feedback helps keep our preserves safe for all. Select a preserve through the Volunteer Sign-up Form or contact cheryl.swinconeck@tnc.org or jeanne.cooper@tnc.org.
Corporate Volunteers
We can accommodate groups of up to 8 volunteers for trail work days at our preserves. If your company is interested in a community service project or team-building day in nature, let us know! Contact cheryl.swinconeck@tnc.org or jeanne.cooper@tnc.org.
