If you enjoy the outdoors, the WCC is looking for volunteers to help build trails.

Because the Wells Conservation Commission is an all-volunteer effort, there is always more than enough work to go around! If you are interested in lending a hand, here are some ways you can help the Commission conserve the natural resources of Wells:

  • Educating the public about conservation alternatives
  • Researching and negotiating purchases of land and conservation easements
  • Building trails
  • Photographing natural history
  • Maintaining interpretive stations
  • Monitoring conservation land
  • Supporting conservation alternatives in the school system
  • Attending public events
  • Establishing other Conservation Lands and Wildlife Commons in town
  • Supporting land bank appropriations
  • And more…

Contact the Commission if you would like to volunteer. We’d love to hear from you!
