Volunteer Opportunities

Preserve Monitors
Currently (summer 2005) more than 100 individuals and families act as Preserve Monitors for a particular nature preserve owned by the Little Traverse Conservancy. Monitors visit their assigned preserve at least twice each year (spring and fall) and send us a report on the condition of signs, trails, structures, etc. Read more about these responsibilities in the publications below:
