Conservation Volunteer Training

conservation volunteer
We are looking for volunteers who want to care for Hinckley Park and Trout Brook Nature Preserve. Volunteers will set up a private training session with parks staff to learn all about the invasive plants that threaten South Portland’s ecosystem. We will cover plant identification, target areas, and how to remove each plant. After completing the training, volunteers can borrow tools and work in Hinckley or Trout Brook on their own schedule throughout the year. Any hours worked can be recorded for volunteer requirements for work, school, etc.
