Become a Plant Conservation Volunteer with New England Wild Flower Society

This is not a WRWC event but we thought you might be interested. Volunteer for this project and help us identify and protect any rare flowers in the Woonasquatucket River watershed!

New England Wild Flower Society is actively seeking volunteers for its Plant Conservation Volunteer (PCV) Corps. Participants in this program monitor rare plant populations throughout New England and assist with invasive and habitat management projects. Over 600 volunteers have been trained to document the current status of rare plant populations and identify potential threats to them. In return, PCVs are offered field trips, classes, and opportunities to interact with professional botanists to learn more about challenging species and the ecology of various habitats.

The requirements are motivation, discretion, and a basic knowledge of native flora and the time commitment is entirely up to you. It’s a great way to learn more about plants, meet others with similar interests, and make an impact in conservation.

Training sessions will be held in March in all New England states. For an application and more information visit our website at http://www.newenglandwild.org/volunteers/conservation-volunteers.html or contact:
