Together we can make a difference
FRLT started as an all-volunteer organization in 2000. Fast forward to today and volunteers still make our conservation, land stewardship, and outdoor education work possible.
There are many ways to lend a hand
Do you love birding, botany or biology? Do you enjoy working with people and sharing your love and knowledge of our region? Do you enjoy connecting school children to the natural world? Do you have a special skill you want to teach others? Or maybe you enjoy getting your hands dirty and working on the land? We have something for you!
