The Importance of Volunteers to our Mission:
Over the past 25 years, VRLPA has protected nearly 5,000 acres through purchase of land and conservation easements. As we head into the next 20 years, dedicated volunteers will continue to represent the backbone of our efforts. Whether serving as a Board Member or helping with community outreach, fundraising, or easement stewardship activities, there are numerous ways to get involved.
