So many ways to help...

Volunteer Spring Work Days

​Help Glacial Lakes Conservancy ring in the spring! GLC owns five properties; William F. Christel Memorial Woods & Wetlands Preserve, Hunner Preserve, Grasshopper Hill, Charles & Winifred Spring Preserve, and Willow Creek Preserve. All of these properties need volunteers (individuals, families, employee work groups, etc!) on the ground in early spring so we can start the season on revitalized land & celebrate Earth Day at Willow Creek Preserve! We are asking for anyone who may be interested in volunteering to reach out to the contact person listed on the chart next to the preserve you wish to volunteer at. We hope to see you out there!

Calling All Volunteers!

There is a lot that goes into maintaining our public properties like mowing trails, repairing boardwalks, pulling invasives, removing garbage, clearing debris, etc. It's because of our volunteers that we are able to get much of this work done. Below are planned work dates when your help can make a difference on our properties.

Glacial Lakes Conservancy had been protecting land and water since 1996 and has grown from providing service in just one county to now stewarding 1,700 acres across a five County region. This is a big responsibility for an organization with a small staff of just three employees. We rely heavily on the passion and dedication of volunteers in the community who care deeply about supporting GLC's mission.

​As we continue to grow and become responsible for more acres of land, our need for volunteer assistance also grows. Whether you have a day or two per year or several hours per week or per month, it is enough to make a difference. If you are interested in helping, we can find a way to match with your skills and availability with our needs.  Add your name to our contact list using the volunteer form.
