VolunTuesdays - Great River Preserve

  • Great River Preserve 1025 Auburn St Bridgewater, MA 02324 (map)

Wildlands needs your help!

The Wildlands Trust stewardship team is hosting a drop-in volunteer day at Great River Preserve. All experience levels are welcome, and no registration is required!

Tasks will include gardening, mulching, digging, raking, and more. At the project’s completion, the garden at Great River will be refreshed and ready for winter. The preserve comprises 125 acres of Taunton River frontage, expansive open fields, mixed pine/oak woodlands, vernal pools, and habitat for several rare species.

Drop-in days will last from 10am-1pm. Volunteers are free to come and go as they please. Questions? Contact Stewardship Coordinator Zoë Smiarowski at zsmiarowski@wildlandstrust.org.
