Habitat Project volunteers remove invasive plant species that threaten the native plants of the Parker River NWR, participate in beach clean-ups, and perform general landscape and infrastructure maintenance for trails and boardwalks.
Trail Crew volunteers help to maintain our trails. Volunteers clear hazards such as tree or rocks, help maintain or replace signage, and keep our Reserves looking great.
Assist with the assembly and distribution of “brown bags” that are filled with free groceries for low-income elders.
Volunteer as a reserve steward and help monitor our reserves in Acushnet, Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, and Wareham. Walk the grounds and trail networks weekly or monthly and notify us of any maintenance needs or vandalism. Training provided.
Join New England’s largest volunteer coastal monitoring program. Become a Baywatcher and help the Coalition test water in your community each summer. Some Baywatchers also assist with river herring monitoring in spring and stream flow monitoring throughout the year.
Love the outdoors? Help us pick up litter, cut back invasive vines and shrubs, and maintain trails at our reserves in Acushnet, Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, and Wareham. Land stewardship activities are great for groups that want to volunteer. Contact us to arrange a group volunteer stewardship day.
Individuals or groups can serve by sorting donations, organizing a fundraiser, or setting up a drop off location.
Individuals, companies, or groups can help donate supplies such as new clothing, laundry/hygiene products, or office supplies. Donation drives are a great way to collect these items.
If you love the Coalition and want to tell everybody about Buzzards Bay, then volunteer at a local fair or festival. Outreach volunteers hand out educational materials and talk to people about the Bay and the Coalition’s work. Even if you’ve never been an outreach volunteer before, we can pair you with an experienced volunteer.
Groups are needed to do yard work and spring/fall cleaning at Our Lady of the Woods.
