Protecting critical lands is a noble and compelling cause for many, and we need your help to spread the word! GTRLC plans a wide array of events every year to engage people in our mission, expand access to nature for all, and enhance support for the Conservancy. We host public hikes, volunteer workdays, conference booths, celebrations of our accomplishments, and more to achieve these goals. With the help of our volunteers, we can host and participate in stellar events that increase the support and awareness of our work!
