Shasta Land Trust 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. Contact us for more information on the next upcoming "tabling" event. This year, volunteers helped at events such as the Macy's One Good Turn event and Whole Earth Festival. The volunteer at the left, Sue Keller, is shown at the Slow Foods Field to Fork Farmer's Market Event on June 27th, 2009 in Red Bluff. Wildways Help plan the Wildways Kick-off 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 the 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 - We have upcoming restoration events planned for Fall of this year that include removal of invasive species and stream clean-up.  If you like rolling up those sleeves and getting some fresh air, then this is your type of volunteer work! Let us know if any of these types of field work interest you and we can give you more information on each event. Volunteers removed invasive blackberry bushes around endangered elderberry beetle habitat at Fenwood Ranch on April 22, 2009. 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 helping to fold and mail out the Shasta Land Trust newsletter, as well as the Wildways Kick-off invitations and brochures. We welcome volunteers on a regular or on-call basis.  If you have any office skills and would like to help, please contact us. 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. Call Shasta Land Trust at (530) 241-7886, or send us an email if you are interested in volunteering.
