Seeking Volunteers for Native Wildflower Garden


The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help maintain their native wildflower garden. WildAcres garden is located on a forty four acre preserve, which serves as the Conservancy’s Headquarters and is also a Montville Township park. The garden, established with the help of volunteers has also been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as an official Backyard Wildlife Habitat site.

Volunteers are needed to perform tasks such as weeding the garden beds and paths, pruning of some shrubs and trees, mulching and raking leaves and other general clean up. All tools and supplies will be provided.

The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is a non profit member supported organization dedicated to preserving and protecting New Jersey’s vital natural lands and water resources. The organization has been working for the past 29 years to inspire and empower individuals and communities to take action to save the land that is so important to our state. The Conservancy has preserved over 16,500 acres of land and helped towns receive $192 million in grants to purchase and protect land throughout New Jersey. The Conservancy has worked with more than 76 municipalities in 13 counties, impacting over half of New Jersey’s counties and benefiting millions of residents throughout the state. The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is the first land trust organization in the state of New Jersey and one of only 93 nationwide to receive accreditation from The Land Trust Accreditation Commission. For more information, to volunteer or make a donation, call Barbara at (973) 541-1010, x14 or visit our website at http://www.tlc-nj.org/
