➤ Adopt a Trail – Want to “adopt” one of the Mount Agamenticus trails? Trail Adopters take responsibility for helping with trail upkeep and become helpful assistants by monitoring their chosen trail and providing some basic maintenance throughout the year. Learn more about trail adoption.
➤ Care for a Native Plant Bed – This is a great opportunity for families, groups, and organizations! We are seeking seasonal volunteers to help us care for our native plant beds! Native plants are adapted to local environmental conditions, provide vital habitat, help maintain species diversity, and are kept in check by natural succession.
Volunteers will “adopt” a summit plant bed and take responsibility for its upkeep (weeding, mulching, etc.). Once trained, adopters can work at their own pace and on their own schedule throughout the season. A time commitment of one growing season is required (approx. May-Sept).
➤ Learning Lodge Docents – Seasonal volunteers are needed for our 2024 Lodge season to greet weekend visitors, answer questions, recommend trail routes, possibly assist with scheduled groups, and help to explain our current work and conservation goals. Docents will work directly with Outreach and Education Coordinator. Minimum commitment of two, 2-4 hour weekend shifts each month, May-October. This position does require a background check.
➤ Park & Trail Ambassadors – This is a high visibility position with the primary responsibility of education and informing visitors about Town ordinances, regulations, policies, and general information when the arrive and while exploring the trail system. Ambassadors will have a friendly and welcoming personality that encourages compliance of guidelines and parking capacity. During peak use, Ambassadors may assist in gate operations when parking is full and offer directions to alternate locations. Must be patient, professional, and adaptable.
➤ Friends of Mount A – The Friends of Mount Agamenticus (FOMA) is a volunteer advocacy, stewardship, and fundraising group for the Mount Agamenticus Conservation Program. Click here to learn more.
