Lend a Hand - Leave a Legacy!

At Tall Pines Conservancy, our story began with a handful of passionate individuals who recognized the urgent need to protect the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of Southeast Wisconsin. Their commitment gave rise to a thriving, nationally accredited land trust — and their spirit of stewardship continues to guide us today.

Now, we invite you to become part of that legacy.

As a volunteer with Tall Pines Conservancy, you’ll find countless ways to make a meaningful impact. Whether you're passionate about conservation, eager to spend more time outdoors, or simply looking for a way to give back, there's a place for you here. Volunteers help with everything from removing invasive species and restoring prairies and wetlands and maintaining trails throughout our protected properties to building regional support for local producers.

If you prefer to work behind the scenes, your skills are just as valuable. We welcome support with tasks like conservation easement monitoring, data collection and reporting, coordinating community events, and even helping with grant writing and outreach efforts.

No matter how you choose to get involved, your time and energy contribute directly to the long-term health of our landscapes and the success of our mission.
