VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteer on the land with our land stewardship team:
We depend on the community to join us in our stewardship of the land we protect on behalf of the community. The purpose of this group is to increase urban food production and public access to green space, improve ecosystem functions, beautify spaces in and around the city, and to foster a more harmonious relationship with our natural systems. Also, it provides an opportunity for sharing of knowledge and practical community-based education on the topics that the group's projects cover, including the following:
-
Landscaping, gardening, and farming
-
Permaculture and edible forest gardens
-
Ecological land management
-
Green infrastructure
If you are interested in volunteering on the land, please fill out this volunteer form and/or email jordan@kingstonlandtrust.org
Join our Land in Black Hands Steering Committee
This committee, made up of Black members of the Kingston community and surrounding area, will determine how to spend the Kingston Land Trust’s Land in Black Hands Fund (currently $18,000, with fundraising ongoing). Compensation is available for committee service.
If you identify as Black and believe in cooperative ownership and ecological stewardship of land, take this survey! Contact Shaniqua@kingstonlandtrust.org if you would like any more information.
The Kingston Land Trust is forming this committee to further center the voices and needs of Black people that have been violently dispossessed of land and sovereignty, for generations, across what is known as the USA. The fund provides the opportunity to translate ideas generated over the past three years of Land in Black Hands community discussions into a tangible land-based project in the Kingston area.
