Preserve Workdays 

Willistown Conservation Trust maintains 3 public preserves, soon to be 4! With so much beautiful habitat, we need some help keeping these conserved lands looking their best for all visitors and ensuring they continue to provide healthy habitat for the many species that depend on them.

The Stewardship Team hosts weekly volunteer work sessions running from 9am to noon and tasks include:

  • Cutting/removing invasive plants
  • Clearing vines from trees and tree cages
  • Planting native trees and shrubs
  • Pruning trees and shrubs
  • Trail clean-up and maintenance
  • Stream clean-up

The Trust will provide necessary tools. But if you have any of the following tools, you are welcome to bring them along. Please ensure any tools are prominently marked with your name and phone number. We cannot be responsible for personal tools that may be lost or stolen.

  • Hand pruners
  • Soil knife
  • Trowel
  • Hand saw

You can come for the whole session or as long as you’re able.

If you are interested in getting your hands dirty, every Wednesday June through October, Rushton Farm hosts a “Just Show Up” volunteer day between 9am and 4pm for weeding, harvesting and other farm activities.  No reservations necessary!

You may also want to consider in an internship with the Trust.
