Ways to get involved

Conservation and environmental volunteering and learning opportunities

Work Parties

Work Parties are a great way to make a difference and to learn about properties that contain important ecological benefits and how to protect those special places.

What are Field Fridays?

Want to spend some time with the Stewardship Team and learn a bit more about land trust conservation sites? Sign up for a Field Friday adventure held on the first Friday of the month! We have up to six seats open for volunteers to ride along for property monitoring, maintenance, and other stewardship activities. These are working days, and are more difficult than our work parties! Volunteers should be prepared for all weather conditions and have tough, weather appropriate footwear ready to traverse rugged, uneven terrain. While the traversing may be challenging at times, the rewards are immense! Volunteers will have the opportunity to visit parts of properties rarely seen by the public, learn about Whatcom Land Trust’s stewardship goals and processes, and participate in restoration and land management activities.

Become a Volunteer Land Steward

The reason we are able to protect the thousands of acres of land and waters in our care is due to our dedicated corps of volunteer land stewards and donors. In the first half of the year alone, almost 70 trained Volunteer Land Stewards spent more than 1,000 hours monitoring Whatcom Land Trust properties around the county. Many of these same volunteers additionally participated at our Work Party and Field Friday events to accomplish habitat restoration activities. Without these passionate and truly inspirational members of our community, the quality of stewardship on our lands would not be the same. We couldn’t be more fortunate to work with such a precious resource.
