| Ways to help |
Hands-on Conservation WorkOccasionally we will have opportunities to create habitat, often in conjunction with either the Ohio EPA and/or the MetroParks of Butler County (or another organization).Social Media VolunteerAre you confident with new technology and have a good working knowledge of several social media platforms? Have you ever had a blog? We are in need of someone to help us post to our blog and share these posts via several forms of social media. This opportunity is something you can do once a week (or month) or perhaps even do for 20 to 40 hours a week during a vacation, school break or sabbatical.Design VolunteerDo you like to make cards, flyers and newsletters? Do you know how to use Adobe’s InDesign or would you like to learn? We are in need of help laying out the newsletter, creating flyers, pamphlets and mailing pieces. Most items are already created, unless you prefer to start from scratch, you only need edit them. This opportunity is something you can do once a week (or month) or perhaps even do for 20 to 40 hours a week during a vacation, school break or sabbatical.Easement Filing ProjectHelp us reorganize and modernize! In this long term project we are scanning originals and organizing easement files to make them more complete and easier to use. If you have a desire to do something indoors and intellectually challenging help with easement filing. This opportunity is something you can do once a week (or month) or perhaps even do for 20 to 40 hours a week during a vacation, school break or sabbatical.Special EventsMany different skills needed from set-up to greeting guests and everything in between. Want to be part of the action?Committee WorkWe have many committees headed by Board Members that could use your help. Are you interested in Finances? Outreach and Membership? Development? Land Protection? All of these are committees that could use your help! This opportunity is something you can do once a week (or month) or perhaps even do for 20 to 40 hours a week during a vacation, school break or sabbatical.Easement MonitorKeeping the Trust in compliance with state monitoring requirements is a crucial behind-the-scenes task that relies on a committed team of core volunteers. Every farm protected by an easement must be monitored annually to ensure that it remains in compliance with easement restrictions. As an Easement Monitor you would be asked to travel with a partner to tour and document participating farms and prepare a written report to be kept on file in the office.Newsletter and Special MailingsLooking for something to fill a Saturday afternoon or a Thursday morning? Assist in the office by folding, sealing and labeling newsletters.Publicity VolunteerAre you a good writer? Do you have experience writing press releases or articles? Do you want to learn? We are in need of someone who would be willing to help us publicize what we do at the trust by writing articles for the newsletter, writing press releases, the text for blog posts (others will post it to the web, if you desire) and arranging for someone to take pictures at all of our events.Community Outreach (or Tabling)Do you like to talk to people and get them excited about conserving land near our home? Do you enjoy local events, festivals and county fairs? We need your help! We always go to events in pairs (usually in 2 hour shifts) and have lots of printed materials available at our table to help tell our story.Grant WritingAre you a special kind of non-profit funding nerd? Do you have aspirations to become one? Do you want to help Three Valley get the funding we need to run exciting outreach programs for the community? This opportunity is something you can do once a week (or month) or perhaps even do for 20 to 40 hours a week during a vacation, school break or sabbatical. |
