The Barrington Land Conservation Trust is always looking for volunteers to help to preserve the natural resources of Barrington, Rhode Island and adjacent areas including water resources, streams, ponds, marshlands, woodlands, and scenic and natural sites, as well as the plant and animal life.
If you’re interested in any of the opportunities below, please fill out the Adult Stewardship Team Registration Form.
Tuesday Trails Team
The Tuesday Trails Team, one of our volunteer opportunities for adults ages 18 and older meets, on the second Tuesday of every month from 10 am to noon. On occasion, the date will be changed due to schedules and weather.
The Tuesday Trails Team plays a critical role in managing and maintain the properties owned by the Barrington Land Conservation Trust as well as Town-owned nature preserves.
Work includes removal of invasive plants, trail maintenance and construction, bridge repair, trash removal and beach cleanups. A regular commitment, though desirable, is not necessary. You’re welcome to join us even if you can only make a few events each year.

Adult Stewardship Events
Throughout the year, we seek volunteers with a wide range of skills to assist in a variety of projects. This may involve one-day stewardship events, such as cleanups, planting days and building projects. Or it might be working with a small team on a special project over several weeks or months, such as salt marsh restoration or a pollinator garden.
It’s a great opportunity to get outdoors, learn about local habitats, including best practices in managing these diverse properties, and to work alongside a great team. You’ll visit some hidden gems of undeveloped properties in town. Work is directed by an experienced project leader. All you need to bring is good shoes, work gloves, loppers and/or pruning shears if you have them, and a love of the outdoors.

Land Stewardship Program
Land stewards help monitor the properties owned and managed by the Barrington Land Trust. They monitor their designated property for invasive species, waste dumping and other encroachments. Land stewards may also participate in trail maintenance and clean up.
