October 7, 8:30am – Work Day at JK Black Oak
On this work day at JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary, we’ll be doing invasive removal around two of the vernal pools and some maintenance of the planting areas, including planting more natives. The work day lasts for three hours and the work may be strenuous at times. Due to the environmentally sensitive habitat and rare species, JK Black Oak is not open for general public access. 20 volunteers needed (minimum age 16). More info and Register.
Art Exhibit Assistant (August 2023 to December 2024)
The Wild About Loudoun Art Exhibit will be touring county libraries for a year and we need people to help install and deinstall the exhibit under the direction of one of our Board Members. The art will be moved every two months and you do not have to be available for each move. We are looking for a pool of people who would be available to help on weekdays during the day. The exact day and time will be variable for each move but one or two volunteers can expect to spend approximately 2 to 3 hours each time. Experience with hanging art shows is helpful and on-site training will occur. Please contact Volunteer Coordinator Kim Strader at kstrader@loudounwildlife.org if you are interested for additional information.
Salt Watch Volunteers (Year Round)
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy needs Salt Watch volunteers to use quick and easy test strips to monitor road salt pollution at local stream sites on a monthly basis throughout the year and during the winter months. We are especially in need of monitors for our Leesburg stream sites. This is a great opportunity for individuals, couples, families, and youth groups to get involved as citizen scientists. Contact Stream Team Coordinator Amy Ulland at aulland@loudounwildlife.org for more information and come to the Salt Watch Kickoff on October 15 if you can. You may also want to learn more about our Salt Watch program.
Harrison Street Weed Warriors (June – October)
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy needs Weed Warrior volunteers to help ensure the Harrison Street Meadow in Leesburg continues to be a vibrant living landscape. Volunteers that can make it will help on the first or third Saturday morning each month from June to October. Sign up to receive reminder emails to help.
