Volunteers play an important role at KLT. Last year, almost 100 people volunteered their time, energy, and skills to assist in KLT's work.

There are many ways to volunteer for KLT. Whether you want to be out in the field or indoors, working on your own or with others, have a lot of time to give or just a little, there are many ways your energy and talents can help KLT do its work.      

Getting Started

Current volunteer opportunities are listed below. To learn more about any of these activities, or to volunteer, please contact the person noted.

Land Preservation: Are you interested in working with KLT board members on a committe focused on the preservation of land? If so, please contact Rob Nichols, chair of the Acquisitions Committee.

Easement Monitoring: KLT's volunteers help meet one of our most fundamental obligations: the periodic monitoring of conserved lands to ensure compliance with our easements. Training is provided. Interested? Contact Tim Case.

Trail Building and Stewardship: KLT needs volunteers to help create or improve trails on KLT-conserved lands where landowners have generously allowed for public access. In addition, to make trails available to the public on conserved lands, KLT needs volunteers to maintain trails, keeping trail routes well-marked and clear of fallen limbs. Please contact Tim Case.    

No prior trail building experience is required – just your energy and enthusiasm! There is plenty you can do to help that does not require heavy work or specialized equipment.

Grantwriting and Fundraising: Do you like to write? Have you had experience with grant-writing and would like to share your expertise so that we can rrespond to funding opportunities? Would you like to think creatively about ways KLT can appeal to our community to increase interest, support and membership? Please contact Melissa Paly, chair of the Development Committee.

Photographing Conserved Lands: Got a camera and an eye for photo composition? Visit recently conserved lands to take photos for use in UVLT’s publications, slides shows, and website. Contact us.

Mailings Team: When you receive a mailing from UVLT, it has likely passed through the hands of one of our mailing volunteers, a lively bunch that gather to collate, stuff, and seal our membership mailings. Contact us.

A Project of Your Devising: If you’d like to volunteer for KLT, but don’t see an activity here that matches your skills and interests, let’s talk! We’re happy to work with you to find a project for you that meets your objectives while filling a particular need at KLT. Contact our Coordinator, Kelsey Woodward
