Volunteers Needed!

Great Swamp Watershed Association's CMA 1 Tiger Lily Ln, Morristown, NJ, United States

Come learn more about what stewarding our 73-acre property in Harding Twp. entails by getting involved hands on! We’ll be conducting a variety of tasks including chipping and mulching our trail network, removing invasive plants, and constructing new boardwalk. We rely on our volunteers to help us take care of this natural area that’s open to the public for passive recreation and serves as an educational opportunity for students. Are you in the giving spirit and willing to brave the swamp? Wear long pants and long sleeves, and clothes than can get wet, muddy, and protect you from mosquitos!
