Want
to volunteer?
NEFF may be just the place for you! NEFF has rewarding opportunities for
volunteers throughout New England in connection with NEFF's
130 community forests. NEFF has volunteer opportunities for:
- Forest Stewards
- Ideally, Forest Stewards live within 10 miles of the NEFF
Community Forest chosen and can visit the forest year-round. Forest Stewards
report to NEFF periodically about information gathered or work completed during
site visits. To learn more and submit a volunteer form to become a Forest
Steward please click here.
-
- Ecological or Historical research
- NEFF is always interested
in learning more about our forests and the history of the forest. Volunteers
interested in helping NEFF learn more about the forest properties NEFF owns
please contact Si Balch.
-
- Community outreach
- NEFF offers opportunities for neighbors and community members to come out to the
woods to learn about forests and forestry. NEFF often needs help from community
members when coordinating and organizing these events. For more information on
being an outreach volunteer please contact Lisa
Spalding.
-
- Trail maintenance
- Many of NEFF's Community Forests have trail networks that need
to be periodically cleared, waterbars repaired, and require other maintenance.
Volunteers who live near a Community Forest are often essential for maintaining
trails. If you are interested in volunteering to maintain a trail contact Lisa
Spalding.
-
- Friends of Prouty Woods
- The Friends of Prouty Woods is a group of individuals and businesses that care
deeply about the stewardship, educational programming, and financial stability
of Prouty Woods Community Forest. You are encouraged to become a Friend of
Prouty Woods! There are many volunteer opportunities at Prouty Woods including
gardening and mowing, helping with educational programs, controlling invasive plants
,
and maintaining buildings . To learn more and volunteer at Prouty Woods please

forests. If you like to take pictures and want to take some in a NEFF forest or
two please contact Lisa
