Do you enjoy hiking and being outdoors? We are looking for volunteers interested in becoming Trail Stewards. 

Appleton Farm in Ipswich, MA
Crane Estate, Ipswich, MA
Hamlin Reservation in Ipswich, MA
Greenwood Farm in Ipswich, MA
Stavros Reservation in Essex, MA
Mount Ann Park in Gloucester, MA

Are you willing and able to:

• Hike on a designated property on a regular basis  (Ideally once per week, or every other week) 
  
  
• Use hand tools (such as clippers, lopping shears, bow saws or other hand tools) to trim back branches that encroach the trail. 
  
  
• Place small branches, sticks, etc. off the trail and report on major trail conditions (such as fallen trees, etc).
  
  
• Collect trash or other items that may be present on the trail.
  
  
• Re-stock the property sign-board with new property maps and brochures.
  
  
• Interact with visitors and answer questions as applicable.
  
  
• Report to the Property Superintendent on a regular basis (weekly is ideal) via e-mail or telephone to check in, and complete a Trail Report noting issues on the property that need staff attention.
