Dear LincolnTalk, We have seen the discussions regarding litter, and LLCT and town Conservation staff have been working on a few volunteer opportunities to help care for our beautiful areas around town. Our first is the upcoming Green Up Day on Earth Day, April 22, but we have additional opportunities listed below. If you are interested in volunteering, you can reply to me at this email, or submit our volunteer application form. Lincoln Green Up Day: April 22nd!
LLCT and Town Conservation are teaming up to invite the community to participate in a town-wide Green Up Day. Week of April 18-22: Individuals and Groups are encouraged to self-organize clean ups. Trash bags will be available for pick up in advance. Drop-off locations will also be provided. Friday April 22nd: Conservation Staff will lead two group clean ups from 10am-Noon. At 1pm we'll gather at Lincoln Station for a celebration with local groups, including Farrington Nature Linc. Enjoy family-friendly activities, treats, and information about Earth Day, climate change, and more! Each participating group/household will receive a free Earth Day Serviceberry Seedling at the celebration (while supplies last). Our hope is to have community members sharing their cleanup efforts and Earth Day messages on the OuterSpatial App that week and joining at the celebration! If you are interested in participating, please use the form below to sign up so that we can provide support to groups, make sure we have enough supplies, and can send more details as the event approaches. For more info and to register: www.tinyurl.com/LincolnGreenUpDay2022 Adopt-A-Trail Program Staff are seeking volunteers who already enjoy walking on the trails regularly. Volunteers may choose one or two conservation areas to “adopt”. Responsibilities include keeping trails clear of twigs and branches, picking up trash, light vegetation management, and reporting on downed trees, erosion, missing signage and other trail issues. Adopt-A-Trail volunteers are expected to check and report on their chosen trail systems at least monthly. Volunteer Rangers (Ambassadors) Volunteer rangers walk the trails and provide friendly education to trail users about overall trail rules. This position requires being outgoing and willing to engage with trail users. Overall it is meant to provide a welcoming presence on the trails – we are looking for rangers who will conduct themselves as friendly ambassadors to the Lincoln trail system! We are currently prioritizing rangers at Mt. Misery and Flints Pond. Volunteer rangers are expected to be out on the trails at least weekly.
