We log more hours each year clearing invasives than all of the other tasks we do combined! This is the easiest way to get involved, and there\u2019s no experience necessary!\u00a0Just check the calendar\u00a0for an upcoming \u201cHabitat Restoration\u201d date, grab your hiking boots, gloves, and join us. We\u2019ll provide the tools, and good direction on what to cut and what to keep!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Believe it or not, it can take a lot of time just to keep an eye on all of our preserves. Most of our preserve monitors came to us because they were already hiking the trails several times a week. It\u2019s extremely valuable for us to have eyes and ears on the ground to watch for things like changing environmental conditions, downed trees, or illegal dumping. If you live nearby or regularly hike in any of our preserves, we\u2019d love to hear from you!\u00a0 Drop us an email at abby@westernwildlifecorridor.org<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the ways we foster a connection with nature is to invite people to walk among it. And that means blazing new trails and maintaining existing trails. Join us for a work session and learn how to build enjoyable and sustainable hiking trails.

A big part of our mission is education, and Western Wildlife Corridor is fortunate to have so many experts amongst our membership and leadership. Geologists, botanists, entomologists, biologists, scientists, engineers, and outdoors experts are all active in our group and instrumental in our continued success. If you have a skill, expertise, or knowledge that you think our membership would appreciate, or that would help advance our mission, let us know! We\u2019d love to have you host a seminar or lead a hike or even create a program for our members!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It takes a lot of work behind the scenes to keep Western Wildlife Corridor humming along. Accountants, lawyers, scientists, engineers, designers, IT and web gurus, mapping and GIS experts, and real estate experts are all instrumental in helping us grow.\u00a0Our Board of Trustees and committees are all run by volunteers and we could use your help. Our current active committees include: Land Stewardship, Events, Membership, Fundraising, and Playscape.<\/p>

We also currently have several ad-hoc committees working on specific short-term projects. Drop us a line to find out more about how you can get involved in leading us forward!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
