Not just for the students who go back into the classroom on Monday, but for those of us who volunteer to lead field trips, we begin our fall learning series next Tuesday out in Woodstock, at Mt. Pleasant. The private nonprofit where I volunteer, Howard County Conservancy has a large and interesting series of trips that need hike leaders.
Our schedule for fall training. Including our ever popular potluck luncheon.
We begin with the Watershed Report Card Program. Which was a huge success last year. Results are here.
Volunteering is easy. You can do as many field trips as you want. They request a minimum of three, and there are dozens of days that children are on the Conservancy grounds at Mt .Pleasant and/or Belmont. Sometimes we even head out to the schools to lead trips. This year I see we are going to practice the Stream Survey Program over at the Therapeutic and Recreational Riding Center in Glenelg.
I also see a new preschool program on the calendar. I like working with the younger children. They are incredibly inquisitive and just really enjoy being out in the fields and woodlands. Particularly in the lovely weather that autumn brings to our area.
It’s not hard to join us as a volunteer. Email volunteer@hcconservancy.org or call 410 465-8877.
Last year, over 10000 students came to the properties for trips. There are many, many opportunities to help.
See you on Tuesday or Thursday next week?
