Since the Forest Society was founded in 1901, volunteer involvement has been a cornerstone to our success as one of the leading conservation organizations in the Northeast. Volunteers regularly contribute more than 6,000 hours a year to the Forest Society!
Our land protection and forestry mission would simply not be possible without the dedication of this cadre of volunteers working in both long-term recurrent roles and on shorter-term, episodic projects.
Listed below are some of the opportunities available to volunteers. Formal training is provided for some positions, and commitment levels vary according to each opportunity. Many of our volunteer opportunities are based out of our headquarters in Concord, at our Creek Farm property in Portsmouth, or at our Rocks Estate in Bethlehem, NH. Other positions may involve activity at field locations across the state. We are always interested in finding new ways to utilize volunteers, so if you have a particular skill or idea about how you might help the Forest Society, please let us know.
Next Steps
More than 350 people volunteer their time each year to the Forest Society. We hope you consider becoming one of them! Fill out the volunteer interest form and let us know which position(s) interests you. Watch here for updates and new opportunities as they become available.
