INFORMATION FOR THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

Through “hands-on” experience, volunteers gain an understanding of the importance of New Jersey’s natural landscapes and how an individual can make a positive difference through stewardship initiatives. This helps reach our objective for creating stewards and informed advocates for open space on the individual, community and corporate levels.

The Land Conservancy's Partners for Parks program was instituted in 1996, and has since completed over 285 projects, affecting over 16,000 acres of federal, state, county, municipal, and non-profit lands in 7 northern New Jersey counties. More than 5000 volunteers from 60 corporations and businesses have participated in this program.
