Office
WRL needs volunteers to help put together bulk mailings – newsletters, event announcements and other publications. This is generally on an on-call basis five or six times a year. Other office help might be needed on an occasional basis.
Events
WRL maintains a presence at many local and community events. Volunteers staff tables, hand out maps and other information, and answer questions about our work. This is a great way to learn more about WRL while educating others. We are also looking for volunteers to help with programs and fundraising events.
Committees
WRL is always looking for people interested in the organization who might like to be on one of its committees. Committees consist of a mix of board members and volunteers, and carry out a significant portion of WRL’s work, such as membership development, events and program planning, and property evaluation. Non-board committee members often go on to become board members of WRL.
Trails
WRL hosts a number of trail workdays throughout the year to keep existing trails maintained in good condition. These workdays are fun and provide an opportunity to visit some of Williamstown’s special places.
If you are an avid hiker, you might be interested in adopting one of the WRLF trails. Trail adopters keep the trailhead areas free from litter and debris, and survey the trail from time to time to take care of minor maintenance. Another great way to help out is by filling out a Trail Monitoring Report! If you’ve been on a hike recently and noticed an issue with the trail, please report it with this form so that we can take care of it.
