Restoration at the Dead River Community Forest

​

​This year, we're working on a restoration project along an old logging road on our Dead River Community Forest, just north of the Vielmetti-Peters Conservation Reserve. We have over 400 trees and 800 shrubs that we need to get in the ground to convert the road into a vibrant, diverse habitat. While volunteering, you'll also get a peak at what we're planning out at the DRCF! There are three days we'll be out there prepping and planting, May 17, May 31, and June 1. Hope to see you there!

Join a Committee

UPLC's committees are made up of Board Members and Volunteers. If you are interested in participating in planning, projects, and decisions, but need flexibility in your attendance at meetings, Committees may be the place for you! You can also learn more about our Board of Directors openings by navigating HERE, which is a 3-year commitment. 

Three committees each meet once a month, and all meetings are currently held at our office and have a virtual option via Google Meet. We have other committees that meet on an as needed basis. Fill out the volunteer form or contact us for more info!​

  • Second Tuesday of the month: Board Meetings, 5:30pm

  • Third Tuesdays: Finances and Fun – 5:30pm

  • Fourth Tuesdays: Stewardship and Lands Program Committee,  5:30pm

  • Education and Outreach Committee- as needed, typically at 5:30pm

  • Fundraising committee- as needed, typically quarterly

Adopt a Trail

Pledge to come out on a monthly or quarterly (or whatever suits you) basis to walk the full trail system and make sure that it’s clean, safe, and in good repair for other visitors. We’ll train you in on our procedures and may have some supplies for you!

and more!

Looking to volunteer your skills for personal growth? We’re likely able to help with that, too! We need folks with web skills, database design, editing, consulting, trail building…you name it. Just give us a call and we'll see how we can mutually benefit one another.
