NY-NJ Trail Conference Steward
 
 
 
Our beloved hiking trails are more than just outdoor entertainment, they provide the link between the public and habitat protection, offering essential opportunities to protect plant and animal species. The TCCC Stewards have been educating trail users on the responsible use of parks and trails at the region’s most popular outdoor sites. Stewards also seek to inspire a deeper appreciation for the care that natural areas require. They are our environmental ambassadors on the ground, informing the public about park regulations, hiker safety and preparedness, responsible use and Leave No Trace Principles. Through their public outreach work, Stewards cultivate volunteers to give back to the parks and trails they love. The TCCC stewards have helped thousands of hikers tread mountains safely while making sure the environment will be protected for years to come. We are seeking 15 individuals who share our passion for conservation and the outdoors to join us in educating trail users on proper etiquette and safety, performing outreach to schools and at community events, and leading stewardship hikes. Stewards will visit schools and youth camps to help educate the next generation of environmental stewards through workshops on Leave No Trace and other best practices. If you want to be on a team of peers in environmental protection, network with regional leaders in conservation, gain valuable communication skills and experience, a position on the TCCC Stewards crew might be right for you! Our AmeriCorps crews are trained by experts in sustainable trail building, invasive species management, public outreach, volunteer engagement, and outdoor leadership. Members learn and serve in the greater New York metropolitan region, which features the nation’s finest system of trails outside of a major urban area. From trail construction to habitat restoration to visitor education, you can provide vital resources to the public parks you enjoy. Come help protect the land you love!
