Helping Hands
Help Improve Local Preserves
Westchester Land Trust’s Helping Hands Alliance is a great way for your company to get involved in a project to improve our local environment.
Through the program, your employees can volunteer with Westchester Land Trust staff on day-long work details to improve local preserves, clear trails, remove invasive species and other tasks that will make the preserves a better place to visit and hike.
Through “hands-on” experience, the volunteers gain an understanding of the importance of preserving natural landscapes and the effect of their work. This helps reach our objective of creating stewards and informed advocates for these properties on the individual, community, and corporate levels.
Westchester Land Trust will work with local land managers to arrange fun, and rewarding projects for volunteers of all abilities.
