Volunteers make Shasta Land Trust's conservation work possible!         Shasta Land Trust would not be able to function without our volunteers.  Volunteers make conservation of this beautiful region possible, and we sincerely appreciate all you do! Check out the Volunteer Spotlight and get to know some of the people who make Shasta Land Trust successful! "I am only one, but I am one.  I cannot do everything, but I can do something.  And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."               - Edward Everett Hale Volunteers play a vital role in all aspects of Shasta Land Trust’s mission. There are opportunities to help occasionally or to become more involved; it’s up to you. If you are interested in volunteering, please call (530) 241-7886 or email Shasta Land Trust and let us know! Below are examples of some activities that volunteers might assist with. Board Member and volunteer Muffy Berryhill at the 2010 Whole Earth and Watershed Festival Shasta Land Trust tabling events - If you enjoy talking about Shasta Land Trust and sharing your experiences with others, you could help represent your local Land Trust. Sit at our booth as a representative of Shasta Land Trust for one of the numerous events that occur in the local area.  So far this year, volunteers have helped at the Whole Earth and Watershed Festival in Redding and the Field to Fork Farmer's Market event in Red Bluff.  Later in 2010, we may be attending the Salmon Festival at the Coleman Fish Hatchery. Help plan the Wildways kickoff party and event series- it's a great way to get to know the community and have fun at the same time.  A variety of volunteer skills are needed, whether you are interested in preparing food, helping with publicity for various events, or hosting a party.  Assistance is always welcome in finding party hosts and helping put these fun events together.  We at Shasta Land Trust are always eager to hear about creative new event ideas and suggestions.  We start planning for Wildways early, so don't wait to contact us.  Field work -  If you like rolling up those sleeves and getting some fresh air, then this is your type of volunteer work! Field work opportunities with Shasta Land Trust include restoration events, cleanup events, and conservation easement monitoring.  Let us know if any of these types of field work interest you and we can give you more information on each event. Volunteer Rebecca Cileo and AmeriCorps member Caitlin O'Hara hard at work monitoring Hathaway Ranch in 2010 Office work (letters, data entry, filing, etc.) - There are always projects in our office that could benefit from the talents of volunteers. We recently had a lot of help from volunteers to fold and mail out the Shasta Land Trust newsletter, as well as the Wildways Kick-off invitations and brochures back in February. We welcome volunteers on a regular or on-call basis.   Newsletter or website - We need your ideas and involvement to continually improve our publications. If you would like to contribute articles to the Shasta Land Trust Newsletter Terrain or our website, please contact us.
