Wildlands Trust Stewardship is looking for volunteers to help with trimming vegetation from the trail corridor at our Crystal Spring property in Plainville, MA. The property is 36 acres in total and abuts Town of Plainville Conservation Land. History of the property includes maintenance as a spiritually-oriented ecology center in Plainville starting in 1991. We are excited to offer public access to the property. Following a trail construction volunteer workday in February, this will the second volunteer event for our overall project focused on getting the property ready for visitors!
The plan is to start the workday at 10 AM and volunteers are invited to stay as long as they're able. Wildlands Trust stewardship staff will be on site for the entirety of the day. Please contact Stewardship Coordinator Zoë Smiarowski at zsmiarowski@wildlandstrust.org with any questions!
