Take the Initiative – Volunteer at a Preserve

So let’s just say you are an environmentally conscious individual who does everything they can to minimize damage and danger to the ecosystem. You research renewable energy methods and you spend hours looking into NY energy rates or other green energy methods – but do you sometimes feel like you could be doing more? If that is how you feel then you really ought to see what other opportunities are out there – pick up litter, purchase biodegradable products or even volunteer at a preserve.

In New York, the Mohonk Preserve offers you plenty of opportunities to nurture both yourself and the environment. You can do research for the community learning center, you can take photographs of new and exciting things in the woods, be a trail leader on a hike or even patrol the grounds to make sure everyone is having good clean fun. However, Mohonk isn’t the only wildlife preserve that lets you actively contribute and if you have a hunger to both embrace and protect nature you really ought to see what kinds of opportunities are out there.

As it stands, industry is waging a never-ending war with the natural world. It’s up to people like us to do whatever we can to preserve what little wilderness remains. Otherwise, there may come a time in humanity’s terminable future where we cease to remember a world where there were ever trees.
