Be a Beetle Rancher!Monday, March 02, 2009 - Monday, July 20, 2009NepRWA seeks volunteers to help with a local wetland restoration project via helping to raise special beetles! These beetles feed on a noxious weed that has infested local wetlands: Purple loosestrife. By getting the weed under control, we'll improve wildlife habitat. This is a great hands-on opportunity for families, individuals, school groups, classes, civic associations, environmental clubs, Scouts, religious organizations, etc. For more info., visit the link below & contact NepRWA Restoration Manager Carly Rocklen at 781-575-0354 x303 or rocklen@neponset.org. For more information about the Purple loosestrife biocontrol project, visit www.neponset.org and click on “Restoring Wetlands.”
Seeking "On Call" Helpers Monday, September 29, 2008 - Thursday, December 31, 2009Have your name added to the "on call" volunteer e-mail list (or phone list) and help when you can with short-term group efforts to prepare mailings, provide an extra set of hands on the day of a special event, or assist with other miscellaneous tasks as they come up. Volunteers must have "helping hands" and enjoy working with fellow volunteers. Your own transportation is usually required. The location varies depending on the need - e.g., sometimes at the office and sometimes at a special event location. Time and schedule also depend on need. Generally short-term projects of 1 to 2 hours. Commitment is determined by the volunteer. For more information, contact Outreach Director Carly Rocklen at 781-575-0354 x303 or rocklen@neponset.org.
Special Events Volunteers Monday, September 29, 2008 - Thursday, December 31, 2009Help to plan, organize or carry out NepRWA's public programs and special events such as canoe trips, nature walks, river cleanups, the annual meeting and other activities. Volunteers can help in many ways by serving on the planning or publicity committee for an event, by leading a program in their area of expertise (like a bird walk), or by providing willing hands to help out on the day of an event. Location varies depending on the event. Volunteers may work from home, at the office or at the event site. Timing depends on the volunteer's role, as do required skills. Time commitment is determined by the volunteer. For more information, contact NepRWA Outreach Director Carly Rocklen at 781-575-0354 x303 or rocklen@neponset.org.
