Projects include installing vertical mulch, fencing, and signage; trail work; invasive weed removal projects, planting native plant species and seeds, and general care of Conservancy land. These activities can be strenuous, but very rewarding. These are the earth-movers!
Community Scientist
Ongoing roles and contacted for BioBlitzes. Available at Puma and Portal
This team plays an important role in documenting the changes on the Conservancy lands over time. This is especially important in order to track seasonal and yearly changes, before and after fires, and to understand changes due to climate change. The tasks would include collecting data via iNaturalist, photo-documentation, and assisting with research projects as they arise. The Conservancy provides training to help build the skills needed for these volunteer activities including plant identification, wildlife tracking, and more.
Volunteer Ranger
Ongoing roles and contacted as needed for events. Puma Canyon Only.
Our volunteer ranger team plans and leads hikes, tours, special programs and other activities on the Reserve with Conservancy staff. They serve as both a natural history interpreter/instructor and safety monitor by reporting any safety concerns to staff. Rangers introduce Transition Habitat Conservancy to new visitors, share the area with participants and educate those who wish to learn more about the Reserve. Our volunteer ranger positions require a serious commitment and a certain level of basic and advanced training that THC would help provide.
Community Outreach Team

This team is focused on helping spread the word about Transition Habitat Conservancy and the many ways to support, join and volunteer. It’s a great way to meet new people and share our mission of protecting critical habitat.

Events and outreach typically occur on the weekends and are a great way to meet new people, share our mission, and get people excited about conservation!
