Our Committees

  • The development committee focuses on all things revenue generating for the organization, from donations, to sponsorships, grants, and fundraisers.

  • The engagement committee works to get the community interested and involved in the work we do, whether your interest is in social media, websites, media relations or storytelling.

  • The land committee is the heart of our organization and oversees all of our project sites from acquisition, to remediation, to invasive species management, and future planning.

  • The acquisition sub-committee identifies and researches potential project sites, keeping in mind our criteria and mission.

If you are interested in joining one of our committees please contact a member of our staff via email with the subject line “Join Committee.”
We would love to hear from you!
