You can also contact Jim Erdelac for volunteer work assignments that fit your schedule. He can get you started on an independent project, or you may be able to work as part of the crew for a day.
Reach him at the office at (219) 879-4725 or by e-mail at volunteer@heinzetrust.org.
Your help is needed............Volunteer Opportunities Abound!
Notice a pattern with our Volunteer Workdays? In the coming year, we will always
hold a workday on the second Friday and Saturday of the month. Maybe we'll even
give it a catchy (or kitschy) name like "Second Saturday Stewards" or "Friday
Phragmites Foes"…. Yeah, maybe not. Anyway, be sure to join us each month as we
work to restore the variety of habitats you have helped us preserve.
Of course, we'll let you know about other special projects that come up, and we
are always looking for volunteers who would like to "adopt" a preserve.
